PUTRAJAYA: First day back to school was exciting but isolating for several students as secondary schools across the country reopened yesterday for those sitting for public examinations this year – after almost three months of closure due to Covid-19.

An SMK Putrajaya Presint 11(1) student, who wanted to be known as Fawad, said classroom teaching and learning felt different this time around due to the standard operating procedure (SOP) which includes social distancing measures.
