“Malaysian teachers have been receiving support on how to deliver remote lessons through standard operating procedures and guidelines. State and district education departments have been conducting webinars to train teachers and expose us to multiple techniques for blended and digital learning. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has widened the digital gap; a gap that was already wide to begin with especially for rural and underprivileged communities. Having access to education has now become a privilege to a select few, so I hope more is done to equip families and communities with the necessary infrastructure.
This will also significantly improve the quality of education we teachers deliver to our students.”
