Attending a virtual class offered by UAE teacher Amal Nasser Zaid on the first remote school day, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum reaffirmed that the educational process across the UAE schools will continue with the highest degree of efficiency as the world faces global coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak that prevented over half of the world's student population from going to school.. The Ministry of Education provided necessary technical and logistical support to ensure smooth implementation of the distance learning system.. The ministry announced the training of more than 25,000 public school teachers and over 9,200 private school teachers to certify them for distance learning.. The teachers were trained to become efficient online tutors capable of supporting students to adjust to the new learning model and overcome gaps in the learning process.. Private schools were instructed to adopt distance learning through implementing their own platforms that match the regulations of the Ministry of Education and meet the distance learning strategy.. The ministry also formed round-the-clock support teams to address any emerging challenges that can face students and teachers using the digital educational platforms and provide technical solutions..
