"The approval for the implementation of PdPR and working from home (BDR) for the affected schools takes into account road closures and security control throughout the event.
"This is to ensure that teaching and learning can continue smoothly,” it said in a statement on Saturday (Oct 18).
The ministry added that parents, guardians, students, teachers and school staff are advised to refer to their respective schools’ official communication channels for detailed information on the PdPR and BDR implementation.
"The experience of conducting PdPR and BDR during the pandemic and the Asean Summit held in May this year will help ensure that the learning process continues while safeguarding the wellbeing of students, teachers and the school community," the ministry said.
