Today is the first day of distance learning for UAE school children and is set to continue for the next 2 weeks. Undoubtedly there will be challenges for some and a few issues faced with this new form of education. What is also certain is any problems encountered will be addressed and over a setting down period, everything will fall in to place and routines established. None of this is ideal but it is for sure making the most of an unprecedented situation and ensuring a child's education is uninterrupted.
To this we would like to wish all school teachers as well as all school support staff, all school children and all parents, good luck with the new system, embrace the new methods and be patient with each other as things settle.
