Students find ways to study amid limited online access

My home Internet connection is unstable. Luckily, my school takes special requests from students to have online classes recorded and videos sent to us. I prefer joining online classes because I can interact with my teachers and raise questions anytime I don’t understand a lesson. Watching recorded videos can be quite boring but it helps to be able to rewatch them to gain a better understanding of the lessons. I definitely look forward to going back to school. – Chloe Tai, 16, Stellar Academy, Kuala Lumpur

Over the past year, I had been collecting modules from my school, completing my assignments at home, and returning them for my teachers to pick up and correct my work. This year, I have been using my father’s smartphone to access homework via WhatsApp. I’ll refer to my textbooks and complete the exercises, before snapping a photo of my work and sending it to my subject teachers. I can only use my father’s smartphone after he comes home from work, so it’s really hard to receive and submit my assignments on time. I hope school will reopen soon. – Ain Fitri, 16, SMA Ittifakiah, Jerteh, Terengganu
