According to the minister, “it is possible for
Tawjihi students to use the new platform to compensate for their educational
loss”.
The minister stressed the need to prepare students
for the demands of distance education in the future, by using modern technology
in education, pointing to a study conducted by the
University of Jordan that
showed that 57 percent of students still dislike distance education.
Owais added that the ministry took measures during
the pandemic, including launching “
Darsak”, which is a distance-learning
platform, two TV channels, and distributing 12,000 tablets for students, in
addition to dedicating a period at the beginning of the first semester to make
up for the educational loss.
The minister, however, pointed to some challenges
the ministry and the students face during the pandemic, including “the weak
infrastructure, which makes it unfair for some students.”
