Education Minister Dr. Majid bin Ali Al Nuaimi attended yesterday the launch of televised educational lessons on Bahrain Sports Channel 2.

The lessons began to air from 9am in the presence of officials from the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Ministry of Information Affairs (MIA). Dr. Al Nuaimi lauded the ongoing fruitful cooperation of the MIA, including its minister, officials and technicians.

He cited their keenness to provide all requirements for the success of the televised lessons, which is a first-of-its-kind experience in Bahrain.

He paid tribute to those responsible for the project from the MOE, who, he said, worked for long hours to prepare the televised lessons and ensure that Bahraini students continue receiving educational services.

Dr. Al Nuaimi asserted that the timing of the televised lessons will be announced continuously for students to follow, adding that the lessons will be uploaded on YouTube so that they can watched at any time.

He said that 142 televised lessons have been prepared so far and that more lessons are to be produced. The minister added that the move provides an additional option for the students following the success of the Ministry of Education in activating the digital education content through the educational portal eduNET.

A total of 45 teams have been formed to produce e-lessons and digital content materials, all of which have been edited and uploaded to the educational portal.

In this regard, Dr. Al Nuaimi revealed that a total of 436 lessons, of which 76 are for special education students and 47 for technical and vocational education, in addition to 1,099 digital materials, have been uploaded to eduNET so far.

He added that teachers have also prepared over 18,000 digital activities and materials over the recent period.
