The Tiangong is expected to remain in low Earth orbit at between 400 and 450km above the planet for at least 10 years
"Today's live interactive sessions with the KHDA's team of experts, gave us a deeper insight and better understanding of the health and security policies and processes. The open forum helped get all our doubts and questions answered," said Sangita Chima, principal of Amity School Dubai.
Annie Mathew, principal of Gulf Model School, said: "One of the things we discussed was will parents have the flexibility to send or not send their child to school, once institutions reopen in September? Additionally, the focus was on parent engagement and safeguarding the interest of different stakeholders. Therefore, giving maximum effort on minimising the risk factors and adapting to the new plans efficiently were the key issues."
Another Dubai school head contended with the collaborative effort about welcoming students back in September. "I attended the first session that was conducted on Monday. The meeting was very productive and gave us a lot of insights and clarity on the preparedness for the reopening of schools. I and my fellow principals ended the meeting on a positive note," said Deepika Thapar Singh, CEO-Principal of Credence High School.
Other schools who are next in line for the session said they were looking forward to discussing the safety protocols in detail. "Since we have a very large number of students across our group of schools, our procedures and protocols will be much more rigorous." said Punit MK Vasu, CEO of The Indian High Group of Schools.
