Doha: The Early Education Department has planned for the second semester on several axes, the most important of which is the administration's willingness, through the implementation of its plans, to support the educational field during the second semester.
An example of this support is completing the production of video lessons for the second semester of the foundation stage and the kindergarten stage with 550 videos, bringing the total number of lessons and videos made during the current academic year to approximately 1,200 videos, said the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in a statement.
This came within the framework of the constant and continuous efforts made by the Early Education Department to plan the start of the second semester, and in its endeavours to improve the learning outcomes of school students, and raise the efficiency of teachers and coordinators, which will be reflected in the quality of the educational process.
In the same context, schools were provided with semester plans for the second semester early in order for its coordinators and teachers to plan and prepare well from the first day of students' attendance in the second semester.
The Department also provided a series of presentations to support the female teachers to raise the academic level of students. With regard to examinations and evaluations, the specialised team in this regard has begun to develop specifications for midterm exams for the second semester to provide schools with them early.
From the perspective of upgrading the level of teachers and coordinators, the Early Education Department prepared a series of virtual remote meetings and awareness workshops, and identified a set of important topics, on which these workshops and awareness activities will be presented such as ‘developing the thinking skills and creativity of teachers'.
The Department also created opportunity to organise educational meetings through Microsoft-Teams platform to exchange experiences between the teachers, and direct the teachers on how to proceed with the live broadcast lessons to achieve the goal of blended-learning for students.
The Department focused, in its plans for the second semester, on developing the academic aspects of teachers and coordinators, by intensifying field visits to schools, monitoring performance of academic staff.
With regard to learning resources the Early Education Department attaches great importance to kindergarten learning resources through its revision to meet children's behavioural, value and educational needs.
The Department affirmed the role that kindergarten directors play in providing the required support to teachers and coordinators and the continuous and intensive visits to ensure the appropriate quality of learning outcomes in light of the global conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
