Pupils forced to study outside their classrooms


JOHOR BARU: About 39 pupils in an estate primary school have no choice but to sit and study along the corridors outside their classrooms as the premises has been without electricity for three days after its main power supply box had a short-circuit.

The intense heat also caused a few pupils at SJK(T) Ladang Nam Heng to feel nauseous and giddy prompting the school authorities to allow some of them to study from home.
