The toolkit, which will be given to over 10,000 teachers, principals of schools, and a copy for general use in the library, comprises a large children's reading and activity book, teacher training educational video and over 70 children's learning activity sheets. Creation of this educational toolkit is in line with this commitment that aims to further facilitate the growing need for modern, holistic and exciting learning techniques to develop an interest in, and imbibe Arabic language and culture among the region's children. Schools across the region will include this toolkit as a key part of their academic scheme for the primary classes.
Highlighting the need and potential efficacy of the toolkit, Director General of ABEGS, Dr. Al Ali Karni said, "This is a worthy endeavor that we are proud to support as we have tremendous confidence in its reach, and effect in helping Arab children enjoy the process of learning within the classroom environment".
Lending immense support to, and enabling the circulation of this toolkit among schools in the emirates, Dr. Amal Al Qubaisi, Director General of Abu Dhabi Educational Council adds, "Creating an environment that encourages children to become passionate about learning both in an out of the classroom has been at the forefront of our endeavors. Iftah Ya Simsim education toolkit is a value that's shared by Bidaya Media as they go above and beyond television and entertainment to reach out to children with entertaining yet educational content. This is an initiative that has our full backing".
Training workshops have also been conducted for education professionals across schools in the region, to train them on how to effectively navigate and use the contents of the toolkit. This will then be targeted at children in Kindergarten and Grade 1.
