Back to School Short Film Offers Glimpse of First Day at School
A short film, entitled Back to School, has been launched today on the UAE government channel on YouTube ((www.youtube.com/uaegov), offering a new perspective to the annual academic event. The film highlights the feelings associated with the first day at school as shared by students, parents, and teachers.
Through a series of educational advice, the five-minute film urges students to pursue excellence and innovation in their studies, starting from the first day of school and extending across the entire academic year through an integrated educational process.
The first day of school is the most important day in a students life, says a teacher at the beginning of the film. It later shows the expressions of students on their first day at school. On the first day, I met my best friends Mansour, Hashem and Yusuf, a young student shares his impression in the first day at school.
Highlighting the educational aspect, a teacher expresses the importance of psychological preparation for students. While another describes the school radio as an important means of communication between the students and school administration, pointing out how it can act as a catalyst to academic achievements.
The film also draws attention to school activities showcasing them as important pillars in the educational process that can help students enhance their skills and thought process. I love the astronomy club at my school because it enables me to learn a lot about Space. Such activities help the students to rely on themselves and get all the information they require, a student explains while describing his impressions about school activities.
The film is focused on smart learning and the importance of utilizing technology to accomplish the tasks. Smart learning has enabled students as well as teachers to achieve great success, and its positive impacts are very evident in the educational process. It is one of the most important initiatives in the modern world, His Excellency Hussain Ibrahim Al Hammadi, Minister of Education, states in the film.
The film, which concludes with a scene showing students in a school bus, highlights all the aspects of the educational process which apart from academic work includes joy and hope.
