The initiative seeks to refine educational practices, align organizational procedures, and boost the efficiency of government schools and kindergartens in delivering educational programs and managing student behavior.\n\nThe first policy, titled the Policy for School Programmes and Activities, establishes a cohesive framework for planning, executing, monitoring, and evaluating programs and activities. It clearly outlines the roles and responsibilities of all involved parties, with the goal of delivering high-quality, safe programs that cater to students' needs, interests, and abilities, fostering their personality development and skill growth. The policy also emphasizes strengthening national identity, promoting citizenship values, and encouraging community participation. It aims to bridge the gap between classroom learning and school programs, optimize resource utilization, and leverage partnerships to support the ministry's educational goals.\n\nThe second policy, the Student Behaviour Management Policy, aims to create a secure, disciplined, and engaging learning environment while fostering positive behavior and educational values among students. It sets out the rights and responsibilities of all school community members and outlines unified procedures for addressing various behaviors and violations based on clear, progressive educational principles. Prevention and awareness are emphasized as crucial elements, along with strengthening the partnership between schools and families.\n\nDuring the ceremony, Assistant Director Fatima Yousuf Al Obaidli stressed the importance of implementing educational policies effectively in daily school and kindergarten practices. She highlighted that the true value of educational policies lies in their practical application, turning provisions into tangible actions that positively impact students' daily experiences. Obaidli stressed the necessity of coordinated efforts, defined roles, and enhanced communication among all school community members to ensure a lasting, positive impact on students.\n\nThe launch of these policies signifies the ministry's commitment to fostering greater integration in educational behavioral aspects and providing schools and kindergartens with a clear institutional reference to support the implementation of approved practices. The policies are expected to enhance the quality and effectiveness of school programs while strengthening the overall framework for student behavior management, creating a safe and integrated educational environment that respects all parties involved and balances student protection, teacher support, and parental participation.",
