The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) in Dubai has launched a new guide aimed at helping parents support their children during distance learning. Titled 'Parent Guide to Supporting Your Child During Distance Learning,' the document offers practical advice for families to manage learning at home. It stresses that parents should not assume the role of teachers, as schools are responsible for delivering lessons and monitoring student progress. The guide outlines five key priorities to assist parents, focusing on well-being, communication, and maintaining a structured learning environment. Fatma Belrehif, CEO of the Quality Assurance and Compliance Agency at KHDA, highlighted the importance of collaboration between schools and families to ensure educational continuity. The guide includes age-appropriate advice for children from early years to senior school, emphasizing the need for hands-on support for younger students while encouraging independence in older ones. Parents can access the guide on the KHDA website, which complements previously issued guidelines for private K-12 schools regarding distance learning standards.
