The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) in Dubai has released a guide aimed at helping parents navigate distance learning effectively. The guide clarifies that while parents play a supportive role, they should not assume teaching responsibilities. Key priorities include staying connected with schools, encouraging participation, maintaining routines, and protecting children's wellbeing. Parents are urged to communicate any challenges early, ensuring that schools can provide necessary support. The guide also highlights the need for balance in screen time and emphasizes the importance of monitoring children's stress levels. For younger children, more hands-on support is recommended, while older students should have structured routines to manage their workload. The guide encourages parents to seek tailored arrangements for vulnerable learners and to focus on effort and understanding rather than solely on performance metrics.
