HE the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, Dr Ibrahim bin Saleh al-Nuaimi, confirmed that all preparations have been completed to start the online education process starting next Sunday.
Dr al-Nuaimi said in a statement to Qatar News Agency (QNA) that all technical matters are ready for this process in terms of the programmes, videos, teachers, films and YouTube channels for all stages, as well as co-operating with telecom companies in the country for this purpose to facilitate access to the Internet and the promotion of electronic devices.
He stressed the importance and vitality of the role of parents in this process by having an idea on distance education programmes and plans, following up their children’s assessments and the extent of their understanding of the subject. Dr al-Nuaimi revealed that for the first and 11th grades, tests will not be held at the end of the second semester of this academic year, but instead they will be evaluated continuously on a daily and weekly basis.
Regarding the general secondary certificate exams for the 12th grade, Dr al-Nuaimi noted that 12,000 students will sit for these tests, as was the practice every year through special committees in all schools of Qatar, including secondary schools that are not occupied by students. (QNA)
