PETALING JAYA: The closure of schools as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak has left teachers and students flocking to online learning platforms and instant messaging apps for teaching and learning.But the process hasn’t been smooth for many.

The National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) said formal teaching shouldn’t continue during the movement control order (MCO) as it left B40 (low-income) students at a disadvantage, while access to gadgets was an issue for some students.
