Hoping to return after abrupt end

KUALA LUMPUR: It was heartbreaking for many of the 100 American English Teaching Assistants (ETAs) who had to leave after the US Fulbright programme ended abruptly in March with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, but plans are underway to bring them back.

The English language education programme was called off following the complete closure of schools under the movement control order imposed in Malaysia on March 18.
