Once the new academic year begins, students will have the choice to continue distance learning.<\/p>\n
The news was revealed by Khaleej Times and confirmed by the KHDA who reshared the info on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n In an earlier announcement, schools were asked to choose a model to suit their community<\/a>, and it was stated that some in-school learning would be a requirement. Now the guides have been updated, and the KHDA stated in a circular to schools that while face-to-face teaching IS the preferred method of learning, as a temporary measure and as schools are adjusting to reopening, provisions should be made for 100% distant learning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “While face-to-face learning remains the preferred education model, we understand that different parents have different views, especially in the first phases of re-opening. As a temporary measure, schools can and should provide 100 per cent distance learning provision in the new academic year to parents who request it”.<\/p>\n Thank you so much @KHDA<\/a> for this consideration!<\/p>\n — Dee (@Pondering_Dee) August 5, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe move will help both parents and students ease back into school life<\/h2>\n
Some parents are commending the decision<\/h2>\n
