After the sudden announcement of the end of face-to-face classes, students and teachers will resume online classes this Thursday, November 11.
These courses concern students in grades 10 to 13, according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Education.
The statement said that the four MBC channels will broadcast educational programs for students in Grades 1 to 6, while classes for Grades 7 to 9 will be delivered through the Student Support Portal (http://ssp.moemu.org)
These are exceptional measures due to the increase in Covid-19 contamination.
School officials met with Ministry of Education officials on Wednesday, November 10.
The result is that online courses are mandatory for Grade 10 students on Zoom.
NCE, SC and HSC exams are maintained for next year. PSEA will be monitoring the details and teacher schedules very closely. In addition, feedback sheets will be sent to all teachers weekly, which will then be sent to the principals.
The Time Table is also maintained for each school.
In addition, teachers have been instructed to ensure that no student is left behind.
However, several questions remain, including the accessibility of students, especially for Google Classes or Zoom, or do all students have the means and attendance to follow the online courses? Moreover, will discipline be respected, both for students and teachers?
Some high schools are even considering submitting a protocol to parents to help them better manage online courses.
However, in many schools, despite the encouragement of school officials for online teaching, a schedule for make-up sessions is being prepared.
