It has been announced by the Ministry of Education that guidelines set for the reopening of schools across the nation will be distributed to respective school authorities by tomorrow.
The guidelines, which have been discussed and finalised between the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health and the National Security Council, will provide the details on how school authorities may enforce the necessary measures to ensure the safety of students in school compounds.
“We released these guidelines to observe what kind of measures need to be done in the context of reopening schools and the mandatory preparations that need to be made by school authorities to ensure all schools will be ready when the date of reopening is declared.
“The Ministry of Education is also in talks with school authorities to see if any changes can be made to the guidelines.
What is most important is that everyone plays a part, whether it be school authorities, teachers, and parents, to ensure the safety of students.” said Minister of Education Dr Mohd Radzi Md Jidin.
