Online learning for secondary school students for 2 weeks [NSTTV]

KUALA LUMPUR: All secondary school students except those attending boarding schools will undergo home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) for two weeks from March 21 onwards before returning to physical classrooms starting April 4.

Senior Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin also said students will not need to be placed under a rotation system when they attend physical classes.

“This is also applicable to secondary school students enrolled at special education schools,” he said in a nine-minute clip that was shared on his official Facebook page today explaining on the reopening of schools for the 2022/2023 session.

As for secondary school students attending boarding schools, he said only those in Form Two until Form 6 and pre-university students as well as those enrolled for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) will return to physical classes without the need to undergo a rotation system beginning April 4.

“Form One student who received offers to be enrolled at boarding schools can choose either to undergo PdPR or attend the nearest daily school until the Education Ministry announces a date for their enrolment,” he said.

Primary schools including daily government schools as well as privately-operated schools including expatriate and international schools with an enrolment of below 600 pupils will commence operations without the need for rotation.

“As for primary schools with an enrolment of more than 600 pupils, those who will return to schools without the rotation system include pupils at special education schools, pre-schools as well as pupils in Standard One, Standard Two and Standard Six.

“This is also applicable to primary school pupils under the government’s Supplementary Food Programme (RMT),” he said.

Standard Three until Standard Five pupils at primary schools with an enrolment of more than 600 students, he said, will attend classes under the rotation system.

This, he said, is also applicable to privately-run primary schools including expatriate and international schools with an enrolment of more than 600 children.

“Private primary schools such as expatriate and international schools with an enrolment of more than 600 pupils however can apply with the ministry if they want to operate at full capacity (with implementing of the rotation system),” he said.
