A great learning opportunity

TDT | Manama

The abundance of online lessons made available by the Ministry of Education must be fully taken advantage of, says a top ministry official. This was urged yesterday by Ministry of Education General and Technical Education assistant undersecretary Latifa Al Bonoodha in response to complaints about the great number of digital learning content.

She added, however, that this does not mean that all the online lessons are required for students. Instead, they, along with their parents, may select the appropriate materials that meet their learning needs.

Al Bonoodha explained that the multiplicity of options, lessons and digital content is positive, and noted that it confirms the continuation of the efforts made to provide educational materials that offer adequate learning opportunities for students.

She added that many channels of communication have been allocated for students to contact specialists to answer any questions they may have. Al Bonoodha also asserted that the Ministry has determined the required lessons for the second semester after shortening them and keeping only those that are important, in a way that ensures the coverage of the most required competencies.

The Education Ministry has provided many options and platforms for students and parents, including digital educational content that is not related to place or time, she said. Al Bonoodha added that the ministry has provided the central interactive digital lessons service and video lessons, which are uploaded on 14 YouTube channels that the students can watch at any time convenient to them.
