First Virtual Summer Program for Students at Special Education Schools
“We Continue for You”
The Ministry of Education, represented by the Directorate-General of Special Education and Continuous Learning, carried-out throughout this week the first virtual summer program for special education schools under the slogan “We continue for you”, under the patronage of Dr. Ali Al Shukaili, Director-General of the Directorate-General of Private Schools at the Ministry.
In its first edition, the virtual summer program targeted special education schools’ students in their three categories (verbal, visual and mental) across the Sultanate, with the aim of providing participants with the necessary knowledge and skills, which would enable them to improve their educational achievement, discover and refine their talents, support their experiences, and develop their various skills. The virtual summer program also aims to direct these students’ behavioral emotions, intellectual and energies in a positive way in order to protect them from the negative effects of the void during their summer vacation, as well as training them on skills such as public speaking, and the exploitation of environmental materials and recycling them.
On the importance of this virtual summer program for students of special education schools, Dr. Fathia Al-Sidiyah, Director-General of the Directorate- General of Special Education and Continuous Learning at the Ministry, said: “This summer program (we continue for you) comes in continuation of the efforts of the Ministry of Education to present its educational mission, and to enhance its societal roles outside the actual study times for students, by providing educational activities in which knowledge is mixed with application and entertainment in a flexible manner in a virtual educational atmosphere full of suspense.”
