Disadvantaged kids still struggling with education

KUALA LUMPUR: The latest World Bank report shows that Malaysia is still dealing with the impact of the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic where children’s education is concerned.

In a report titled Bending Bamboo Shoots: Strengthening Foundational Skills, it said that despite having achieved a net enrolment rate at the primary school level of close to 100% since 2013, many children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, continue to struggle with learning outcomes.
