Nearly 5,000 Covid-19 infections in schools across Malaysia have been logged this year, fuelling calls for a return to virtual classes and for Education Minister Radzi Jidin and his two deputy ministers to step down.
Opposition MPs from seven political parties slammed the Education Ministry over the lack of clear directives to schools on what to do in the event of infections. What is happening now is that many of those managing the schools are lost when cases rise in schools, they said in a joint statement yesterday.
National Parent-Teacher Association president Associate Professor Mohd Ali Hassan said the situation was worrying.
