MANAMA: More than 147,000 government school students and around 80,000 private school students will resume classes in the next few days as schools are prepared to reopen marking the 2022-2023 academic year.
Schools Affairs director general Dr Mohammed bin Mubarak said in-person attendance is mandatory as it brings many benefits to students, the community and education in general, especially in light of the challenges faced by educational systems around the world.
He was speaking as he yesterday received Bahrain Journalists Association board members led by chairman Isa Al Shaiji.
He said the General Directorate of Schools Affairs will hold a preparatory meeting with all school principals on August 28 to review school policies.
