Relationship between school and home

As the new academic year has commenced, accusations started to be levelled at schools, teachers, and educational directorates. These naturally extend to the Ministry of Education, which is tasked with finding ways to enhance the educational system as a whole and address lack of resources that affect it.

When we get to the matter, these charges won't alter reality, we must, however, be more practical in this regard. Some of them are not accurate or objective in the first place, and some of them reject the responsibilities that must be played under these conditions, in which the world's nations are comparable despite their varied circumstances.

The problem here calls for us, as guardians, to put ourselves in the shoes of our brothers and sisters, the teachers, and to imagine ourselves as the current directorates and schools. It also calls on us to be presented with unbiased, bright facts, like the sun, that tell us that our options are very limited.

In addition to the aforementioned, the demands are there every year, and given the unusual conditions the nation has experienced and is experiencing, the situation will stay steady. What are our options in such a situation? We must address this crucial and practical subject in the context of broad discussions in order to arrive at consensus.

In order to enhance the educational process, we must first collaborate with all parties, including instructors, schools, and the ministry, rather than leveling charges against one another.

According to current statistics, parents have an average of five children of different age groups. On the other hand, there are more than 40 male and female pupils in each class taught by one teacher. The parent should put himself in the position of the instructor and consider if he/she can manage so many students in one place, while each period should not be more than 45 minutes. The guardian will undoubtedly acknowledge the challenges of the job because, at home, he finds it very challenging to supervise and monitor two to three children, review their schoolwork, and make periodic visits to the school to check on the performance of his children.

If this is the case, then let's take into account the fact that a school has hundreds of children who are all under the supervision of this small number of instructors, despite the fact that there are schools in South Al Sharqiyah that have around 1,500 pupils. However, given these conditions, we as parents just put the whole blame on the school, entirely ignoring other details.

Regarding the ministry, it oversees more than 750,000 students within a constrained financial framework. All of these facts and conditions compel us to work with the instructors and the school, and we must then assume responsibility when our kids' standards slip. Here, our responsibility is to fill in any gaps in the educational process. To do this, we must put ourselves in the position of the teacher, the school, and the ministry, and then talk from a position of understanding the challenges they face in carrying out their duties.

All the fundamental elements of education cannot be provided by the government through the Ministry of Education, as this actually cannot be achieved. We as parents need to reevaluate the connection between "my role as a teacher or head of a school and my role as a parent." After that, we must establish duties and responsibilities since it is only from that position that we can stay away from the blame.

We do not, of course, relieve the Ministry of Education, the directorates, or the instructors of their duty to advance and enhance the educational process. However, in these situations, parents have a bigger responsibility to play to prevent future generations from not getting educated properly in this blame game.

Within the framework of this educational system, we hope to precisely redefine the roles to give the children in the country who are well-educated, well-read, and religious. These children will guide the country in distant future and elevate it to a top position among the nations.
