NUTP secretary-general Harry Tan says the main focus of education at a time when the country is struggling to curb the spread of Covid-19 is to further improve PdPR with a more structured system planning. – Facebook pic, June 7, 2021.
THE National Union of Teaching Professions (NUTP) has urged the Ministry of Education to temporarily postpone several programmes to enable teachers to focus fully on home-based teaching and learning (PdPR).
Union secretary-general Harry Tan said if the programmes are continued, it would only add burden and cause teachers to lose concentration on PdPR implementation.

TOUGH times call for strong characters, especially if you are a teacher trying to educate students living in hard-to-reach areas during a pandemic.
Though schools had to close when the movement control order (MCO) began, education was not brought to a halt.
It is easy for a teacher to teach when the conditions are ideal - the classroom is comfortable, there are enough tables and chairs, every student has a book, stationery and can they see the board clearly.
But in rural schools, more often than not, the situation is far from ideal. Little, if at all, is readily available.

This has kickstarted a firestorm calling for the reevaluation of how “rape culture” is normalised within the Malaysian education system with Ain being right at the centre of it (please refer to the heated conversation involving the National Union of the Teaching Professionals (NUTP) secretary-general, Harry Tan, during a media interview that captures the essence of this divide).
