In a continuous effort to improve the quality of education, private schools in the country have implemented support classes aimed at enhancing students’ basic skills. These initiatives incorporate effective teaching methods designed to reduce educational gaps and improve understanding of lessons, contributing to positive outcomes for students in the third semester, which was delivered “remotely.”
Tailoring Support Classes According to Student Levels
Teachers have conducted support classes for students as part of initiatives launched by private schools during the third semester “remotely,” aiming to enhance lesson comprehension and reduce educational gaps among students. Students were grouped according to their levels, particularly in reading and writing skills, which helped to narrow educational disparities between them. The impact of these classes was evident in the level of understanding and interaction within the lessons.
Parents’ Response to the Initiatives
Parents confirmed that dedicating additional support classes within the school day or after virtual classes provided individual follow-up for students in core subjects. This follow-up positively reflected on academic performance, alleviating concerns about potential declines in academic levels and boosting students’ self-confidence.
Effective Strategies to Enhance Basic Skills
Specifically, a school administrator, Aisha Al-Zeyoudi, stated that “schools were keen to assess students’ levels early on through continuous evaluation tools within virtual classes.” She highlighted the need to guide teachers in organizing flexible support classes that target students according to their actual needs. Classes are organized based on closely matched levels, which enhances learning efficiency and promotes educational equity within classrooms.
Technology as a Tool to Support Learning
Arabic language teacher, Shaima Hassan, mentioned that “support classes focused on enhancing reading and writing skills by simplifying texts,” using various strategies that help reinforce basic skills. English language teacher, Sara Al-Raisi, also emphasized that diversifying teaching methods and using interactive digital educational tools contributed to simplifying information for students, providing them with greater opportunities for practice and application.
Continuous Success in Boosting Student Confidence
For her part, a parent of a kindergarten student, Mariam Al-Hosni, reported that the focus on reading and writing skills, thanks to “support classes,” significantly improved her child’s level. This support positively impacted the child’s skills, and she stressed the need to continue this approach to ensure a strong and solid educational foundation.
In conclusion, it appears that the efforts of private schools to enhance students’ basic skills through “support classes” undoubtedly contribute to improving educational levels and building confidence among students in a virtual learning environment.
