Dear Secondary parents,                                                                                                

Re: Reflections on the pandemic and reopening plans

At Kuwait National English School, our staff have worked extra hard to adapt our instructional and assessment materials in the light of COVID-19 and our students have really shown resilience by the way they have embraced a different way of learning. I am sure that KNES students handled the online synchronous learning challenge quite well. However, our students definitely missed their school; they miss their friends, teachers and classroom. Schools are central to children’s development, safety and well-being. School children rely on their school as a place where they can interact with their peers, seek support, enjoy socio-economic factors, hygiene services, psychosocial support and more.  We must continue to invest in children’s education and prioritise reopening schools. Returning to the richness of an in-person school experience must be the way forward.

Ramadan 2021 in Kuwait:

o   The Holy Month of Ramadan will begin in the evening of Wednesday, April 14, 2021, and end in the evening of Thursday, May 13, 2021 (Dates may vary). A Ramadan time table will be given to our students in the near future.

This pandemic is a global problem and as an educational institution, we have put our hands up to be part of the solution. In our reopening plans we are working towards a successful and safe return to in-person learning for all children in September 2021.

Yours sincerely,
