Set up apolitical action council to address ‘lost generation’ education issues, says Maszlee

KUALA LUMPUR: The government should set up an apolitical “national education action council” to address post-pandemic education issues affecting lower primary schoolchildren, suggests former education minister Dr Maszlee Malik(pic).

He said the Covid-19 pandemic had prevented nearly one million students from progressing in their education, especially pre-school and Year One and Two pupils.
