SCHOOLS, kindergartens and other educational institutions are clambering to prepare to shut their doors for the school year.

Following an announcement by Education Minister Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin that all Category B schools would be closed until the school holidays that start on Dec 19, schools are rushing to ensure that students have all the materials necessary for six weeks of online learning.
