It's nearly impossible. Are they going to go to 6 day school weeks? Continue on until July (even though most external exams for older students begin in early May)? It's pure craziness...
At least at ASD, the curriculum is online (and has been for years) so students can keep up with their studies while enduring a forced closure (such as this).
But all the other schools that haven't even started yet? How are they going to make up for starting 6 weeks later than normal?
The decision to delay school until after the Eid was an idiotic one, IMHO. My bet is that most of these kids will end up losing academic ground because of the late start and this additional delay.
Bibo: your article link was useful, but bottom line is that they are not doing anything to curb where students out of school will be. As many others have said, they will not self-segregate at home this week. They'll be hanging out in the malls, spreading any germs they might have brought back with them around anyway. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. While the sick kids are out, at least the healthy ones could be learning. But instead, they're handicapping everyone by forcing the closure.
