复课首日王乙康到校视察 探讨融合线上学习与课程内容

教育部长王乙康在开学第一天前往小学探访,出勤率达到96巴仙以上。王乙康表示,教育部正在检讨如何融合在线上学习与课程内容。 今日(2日)作为阻断措施结束后的开学首日,针对学生是否返校一直争议不断。对此,王乙康也前往醒南小学视察,表示该校出勤率已达到96巴仙。 他说,“我遇到的每位学生和老师都告诉我能返校使他们相当兴奋。” 王乙康也表示,即使在阻断措施期间,持续采取家庭网络教学课程(Home-Based Learning)让学生能够在这期间继续上课,然而,仍无法与返校上课,与同侪老师互动比较。因此,在阻断措施期间,学会如何做出调整,并认识到线上学习也是有所好处,即让学生可以自主学习。 对此,教育部正在进行检讨,如何融合在线上学习与课程内容,而且很快就会推行相关计划。 “我们无法一直将孩子关在家中,这会影响他们的个人发展和社会连结,而且当我们重启经济后,家长也必须返回工作岗位,因此为了让他们放心,他们的孩子也必须能够待在安全的环境中学习。” 他也指出,首日上课均以安全预防措施宣导课程为主,让学生能够谨遵防疫措施,在安全放心的环境中学习。 他也说,“冠状病毒19可能还会持续伴随我们,可能是一年或两年甚至更多,直到疫苗被广泛使用。” 因此,在此之前,他呼吁所有人必须承担个人卫生责任,并增加防疫意识,一旦发现感染症状出现,必须立即通报。 “如今,所有人都需要承担起照顾个人卫生的责任,提高社会意识,一同参与防疫工作。如果发现感染症状,必须立即反应,保持冷静,才能确保我们未来能够逐步恢复正常的生活。”
