SK Putrajaya Presint 9 (2) Year One pupils are all smiles on their first day of school. Students returned to school on Jan 3 in all states except Johor, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu, where classes started on Jan 1. ROHAIZAT MD DARUS / THE STAR. 3RD JANUARY 2017.

AS I watch from my place, I can see parents sending their kids to school on Saturday and Sunday mornings for extra or revision classes. And teachers are expected to attend, no questions asked. Students are, too, but they have a choice and not all of them do. Such sessions are held throughout the term or semester and holidays.

Whether it’s primary or secondary schooling, what began as sessions for only the core subjects have quickly extended to every subject where a handful of students are either willing or able to attend.
