PRIVATE kindergartens registered under the Education Ministry can continue face-to-face operations in states under the movement control order but it is up to parents to send their children for lessons.The move, explained Education Minister Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin, was to accommodate working parents.“The implementation of the MCO this time is different from the much stricter MCO held last March. This time around, various sectors of the economy are allowed to operate.
“Therefore, to enable working parents to send their children to kindergarten, we are allowing kindergartens in MCO states to operate face-to-face but we leave the decision to parents, ” he said during a press briefing in KL on Jan 12 (pic).While tuition centres in states under the MCO are not allowed to have face-to-face operations, teachers wishing to conduct extra classes after school hours within the school’s premises for exam-year students, are permitted to do so.
