UAE’s education experts are looking forward to a near-100 per cent physical attendance when students come back for the new academic year.
The experts said the country’s robust vaccination drive has ushered in “new hope” for the sector as they speak to students and parents at ahead of the two-month holiday that begins from next week.
According to the data released by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), for the first time since schools reopened in Dubai, the emirate is now seeing more students in face-to-face classes than those in distance learning. Fifty-two per cent are engaging in on-site classes and blended learning.
With mass vaccinations for 12 to 15-year-olds in full swing on campuses, schools are confident that more students will be back in classrooms in September, provided that the Covid-19 situation remains stable.
Students are feeling more optimistic, too, knowing that a larger portion of their schoolmates will be vaccinated before the new academic year.
A number of parents who had opted for online classes are much relieved and confident about sending their kids back to campuses.
