Epidemic academics: Students and teachers have generally adapted well to the new normal and SOP, even benefiting from smaller class sizes.

PETALING JAYA: Parents can decide against sending their children to school if they are worried about the pandemic, says the Education Ministry.

Its deputy director-general (school operation sector) Adzman Talib said it was up to parents on whether to send their children to school, though they would need to present an official letter notifying the school of their decision if they decide not to.
