Please share a brief background of your innovation. “Necessity is the mother of invention.” Plato At the peak of the coronavirus, UNESCO reported that 91% of the global student population were impacted by school closures – that is nearly 1.6 billion students in 194 countries. Global iconic American companies like Microsoft and Amazon were primed to adapt and provide their technologies to meet this new need for remote learning. The pandemic changed the way that institutions operated globally, their delivery of education, and the way that students approach their futures. Once the pandemic took hold in Europe, the American University of Bahrain (AUBH) pro-actively mobilized its resources and technological tools to be ready to ensure the continuity of teaching and learning. In February 2020, when the government temporarily requested for its population to isolate at home as a safety precaution, AUBH was one of the only institutions to seamlessly transition to Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT), without missing a single hour of class.

Celebrating educational innovation and excellence across institutions in Bahrain. Read all about the incredible innovations enacted by them only on Gulf Insider’s platform – Education_bh. Please share a brief background of your innovation At Nadeen, we believe passionately that all children are unique, with different strengths, weaknesses, talents, needs, and rates of development. We never employ a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach as it is not compatible with our philosophy as educators or as people! We welcome children from all nationalities, with all abilities and strengths and this gives us a very rich and diverse community, which we love! How was it planned? Differentiated lessons and mini-sessions were introduced so that learning is made accessible to children – with support, stretch, and challenge for all. Did you face any challenges in implementation?

A brief assessment of your results Some of our main challenges included the COVID-19 pandemic, subsequently shifting to online learning; […]
