Health Ministry issues new screen-time rules for Israeli kids
From no screens before age 2 to social media only from 15, Israel’s Health Ministry unveils sweeping new recommendations for children and teens.
Doha, Qatar - The Ministry of Education (MoEHE) joined Qatar's "Walk Your Kids to School" campaign, organized by the Ministry of Social Development and Family (MSDF). This initiative began with the new academic year and aims to emphasize the importance of parental presence in children's lives.
During the campaign, 6,000 roses were presented to parents at 103 schools, symbolizing appreciation for their commitment to walking their children to school. This act highlighted the vital role of families in supporting children's education and helping them start the day positively.
The MoEHE's involvement reflects the collaboration between the Ministry of Education and Higher Education and the Ministry of Social Development and Family. Both entities are working together to support families and strengthen their role as essential partners in the educational and upbringing process. This partnership also aims to promote practices that foster the connection between parents and children, enhancing children's feelings of care, security, and stability.
Maryam Abdullah Al-Mohannadi, Director of Public Relations and Communications at the MoEHE, explained that the campaign's ultimate goal extends beyond the daily school journey. It underscores the significance of parents' involvement in their children's daily lives, which shapes their personalities and strengthens their sense of security, care, and belonging.
The MoEHE's symbolic gesture of presenting roses to parents at numerous schools garnered positive feedback from both parents and educators. This response underscores the campaign's positive messages regarding the importance of family presence in children's lives.
The "Walk Your Kids to School" campaign will persist throughout the academic year through awareness content and interactive activities. These efforts are designed to amplify the campaign's impact, reinforce its messages, and further strengthen parental involvement in their children's educational and developmental journey.
