PUTRAJAYA: Educational institutions under the Education Ministry affected by floods and designated as relief centres will continue the learning process using the home-based teaching and learning method.
The ministry said schools would notify the parents or guardians of the affected schools on the matter.
“For students at relief centres, within school premises, the state education departments and district education offices have mobilised the Smart Support Team and Academic Support Team to assist them with counselling and learning,” it said in a statement, Bernama reported.
As of Saturday, five primary schools and one secondary school in Kedah were still affected by floods, while 36 educational institutions in three states were still serving as relief centres.
This includes 20 primary and 16 secondary schools, with 34 relief centres in Kedah, and one each in Penang and Perak.
“A total of 1,056 students are still at school premises designated as relief centres, while Perlis has fully recovered with all centres closed,” it said.
The statement added that the ministry was continually monitoring the flood situation to ensure the safety of students and teachers.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim earlier said the ministry would determine the school sessions for affected schools in Kedah, including considering leniency for the involved schools.
