The Education Ministry’s DidikTV with its 17 hours of daily educational content is expected to benefit many students, especially those who have been falling behind in their studies since the government closed schools almost a year ago, says Sabah Teachers Union president Said Saidi
PETALING JAYA: The Education Ministry’s DidikTV with its 17 hours of daily educational content is expected to benefit many students, especially those who have been falling behind in their studies since the government closed schools almost a year ago, says Sabah Teachers Union president Said Saidi.
THE year got off to a rocky start with students uncertain over when face-to-face lessons can resume in light of rising Covid-19 cases.
The Education Ministry had initially announced on Jan 11 that Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) students in the 2020 and 2021 cohorts – together with Sijil Vokasional Malaysia (SVM), Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM), Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM), Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM) and Diploma Vokasional Malaysia (DVM) – would return to schools, depending on whether they are under the movement control order, conditional MCO or recovery MCO states.
The decision was reversed in less than a week, on Jan 16, with the ministry announcing that only the 2020 batch of exam year students would be allowed to return for face-to-face studies.
