Focus on students’ psychological readiness at start of school year, says education adviser

Education adviser Marzoug Al-Thubaiti emphasized the importance of psychological readiness as schools gear up for reopening after the summer break. The week leading up to the start of the new school year is particularly crucial, as it is when students' focus and attention levels are at their peak. Al-Thubaiti discussed these concerns in an interview with Al-Ekhbariya TV, stating that psychological and emotional support should be prioritized over academic content at the beginning of the academic year.

This approach aims to ensure students are better prepared for their studies following their summer vacation. He noted that students often return from their holiday with reduced concentration, motivation, and attention levels, but stressed that academic aspects should not be overlooked. The Ministry of Education has completed its preparations for the new academic year, which commences on Sunday, and is actively monitoring the readiness of schools and the education system to welcome students back after the summer holiday.
