With the academic year in full swing, it is essential for children's schools to ensure a safe learning space that fosters collaboration, encourages innovation and sheds light on the importance of their wellbeing. As schools enter the new academic year, little ones are spending most of their time back in the classroom, having almost returned to the normal routine prior to the pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic has drastically changed the way schools operate and the way learning is conducted, and there are many positives to this. Having to adapt to the pressures and changes of the pandemic has shaken up the education system and provided an opportunity to examine the way children are educated. Moving forward and into the future, we can now see more than ever that it is essential for schools to ensure a safe learning space.
The Education Business Group (EBG), a nonprofit formed under the umbrella of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI), currently serves 53% of the city's private school student cohort. Below are Education Business Group's long-term strategies that private schools in Dubai need to consider to help shape the generation of tomorrow.
WELLBEING AWARENESS
As students adapt to the new normal, mental well-being has become an outspoken, top priority for children, adolescents, parents, and teachers alike. Therefore, it is essential for teachers to listen to any concerns that kids may have and demonstrate understanding, as well as empathy. Regular check-ins have been implemented in some schools to offer students the opportunity to have one-toone conversations with their teachers and reconnect in an open environment.
