I HAVE a grandson in Year Six, and a granddaughter in Year Two. Their education, like that of many others in the country, is being badly disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. For months now, they have not had proper schooling.
Their school in Ampang, Selangor, is not equipped to deliver online classes. Many schools in the country are in the same boat. What has become routine now is that they get homework delivered online every day via WhatsApp. This arrangement does not deliver effective learning, causing much dissatisfaction among parents. If this is the best that an urban school in Ampang can deliver, imagine what it is like in rural areas where Internet facilities are far worse.
