Bahrain Institute of Public Administration (BIPA) Acting Director of Learning and Development Najem Salmeen will lead a live discussion with government sector employees titled eLearning: Government Approved Training today (13th April 2020). The 30-minute discussion will be broadcast via the Instalive feature of the Information & eGovernment Authority (iGA) Instagram account, @iGABahrain starting at 10:30am. BIPA’s own blog will be launched following the live broadcast on the same day via the National Portal, bahrain.bh.

Launched in cooperation with the iGA, the BIPA blog will help government employees fully benefit from modern communication technologies, with an emphasis on eLearning and training. The move is in line with the current situation to deploy advanced technologies in support of national efforts to containing the spread of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Salmeen’s broadcast will cover the different axes of the eLearning, including providing training hours accredited by the Civil Service Bureau (CSB), and providing flexible self-learning anytime and anywhere. Once the broadcast is over, Salmeen will continue communicating and replying to inquiries on the BIPA blog via bahrain.bh.

Salmeen said: “The ICT field is witnessing an unprecedented period of innovation, offering a wider range of high-quality products and services than ever before. This has had a positive impact on education and training, allowing people to learn at their own pace, anytime, anywhere. Online learning also provides flexibility in responding to exceptional circumstances through an interactive online environment rich with a wide range of applications. Through this blog, we hope to shed light on these benefits so that government employees can begin their remote learning journeys fully aware of all the offerings available to them.”

The blog, accessible via the National Portal bahrain.bh, will open a direct communication channel between senior Bahrain government decision-makers and the public.
