The new academic year has begun, and we are excited to welcome you all to it. This is an academic year like no other, and as I type this message, many pupils across the Middle East are still not yet back in school on a full-time basis.
Since we last published an issue of Teach Middle East Magazine (April 2020), many things have changed. The world, as we know, it has been altered permanently. After close to six months of distance learning due to closures resulting from COVID-19, schools are now just beginning to get back to some form of normalcy. Several schools which re-opened at the very start of this academic year has had to close again temporarily, because of staff or student testing positive for COVID-19.
