‘Online learning is doable’


Keeping kids focused: Two boys attending online classes while their little sister looks on at their home in Bandar Puncak Alam.

PETALING JAYA: Students nationwide will return to home-based learning (PdPR) after Hari Raya until the end of the MCO. However, educationists caution that B40 and rural students are not ready to resume PdPR but steps can be taken to ensure none of them get left behind.

Although there have been efforts by the Education Ministry to strengthen PdPR, including producing the “Teaching and Learning at Home Manual Version 2” (PdPR 2.0) and “Teaching and Learning at Home Timetable Implementation Guide” in February, B40 students, especially from rural schools, still face problems.
