To start face-to-face in-class sessions in school or not? That is the conversation buzzing on Facebook among parents, teachers and policymakers. A peek at comments in the Facebook pages of Minister of Education Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin and Datuk Jalaluddin Alias (MP Jelebu), chairman of the newly set-up Parliamentary Special Select Committee on Education, shows a poll soliciting parents’ feedback on whether they are prepared for schools to re-open. As expected, some say “yes” and some say “no”. Parents and teachers are worried about the high community infection rate of Covid-19 and prefer schooling to continue at home. Some prefer face-to-face in-class sessions, however, citing ineffective and inconsistent remote learning, owing to challenges such as connectivity, devices, higher cost, lack of space, focus and guidance, to name a few.
