Educationists want organisations to help ensure that students’ learning is not disrupted

THE year got off to a rocky start with students uncertain over when face-to-face lessons can resume in light of rising Covid-19 cases.

The Education Ministry had initially announced on Jan 11 that Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) students in the 2020 and 2021 cohorts – together with Sijil Vokasional Malaysia (SVM), Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM), Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM), Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM) and Diploma Vokasional Malaysia (DVM) – would return to schools, depending on whether they are under the movement control order, conditional MCO or recovery MCO states.
