The Latest Abu Dhabi’s COVID -19 Education Response

The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) has recognized a few learning models, from which  non -puplic schools can decide for the impending new scholastic year that begins in September, 2021. These instruction models range from in-person learning, where students can go to school day by day; to a hybrid learning model — in-class and e-learning for two (2) and three (3) days of each week.

A few non-public school specialists have discussed the patterns they expect to have. Understudies of the United Indian School (UIS), Abu Dhabi will follow the half and half model. Similarly, understudies of Abu Dhabi Indian School (ADIS), and understudies of Mayoor School in Abu Dhab.

ADEK has put forward a few revised prudent Covid-19 security strategies for the new school year. These inoculation standards are for understudies 16 years and older, school staff, and visiting parents.

As per ADEK, actual distance would be downsized right to one meter on sites and on school grounds in a bid to urge understudies to genuinely go to their establishments.

This ADEK’s  approach supposedly is an attempt to offer on-site educating for an extensive physical and scholarly development and improvement of students. For further reading, click (here).
