KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 27): After going through the saga of school closures which saw schools forced to halt physical operations due to spikes in Covid-19 cases, schools across the country will finally reopen in stages starting this Monday (March 1).
The reopening of the school session on Monday starts with preschoolers, Year One and Year Two pupils while Year Three to Year Six pupils will start attending school on March 8.
Secondary schools will commence sessions on April 4 for those in Johor, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu, and on March 5 for the other states.
Although the Covid-19 situation has yet to subside, the move is seen as necessary to balance the need for access to education in a safe environment so as to ensure students do not lag behind in their studies.
