Online classes will ease disruption during road closures, says Higher Education Ministry


PETALING JAYA: All private and public higher education institutions (HEIs) around the Klang Valley have the option of conducting classes either online or face-to-face during the 46th Asean Summit.

The Higher Education Ministry said the decision was made after taking into account the implementation of road closures and security controls that will happen around Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Putrajaya in conjunction with the Summit happening next week.

The ministry added that HEIs are asked to review the location, time and date of the routes that will be closed during May 26 to 28 to determine the need for online teaching and learning to ensure staff and students are not affected by traffic congestion.

It also said affected students and HEI staff can also contact their respective HEIs to obtain further information.

“The ministry is confident that online teaching and learning will make it easier for staff and students to plan their movements and at the same time ensure that the learning process runs smoothly,” it said in a statement on Thursday (May 22).
