Precisely a questions someone has to answer !! #COVID19 #Lockdown #OnlineClasses #PdPR
codeblue.galencentre.org/2021/06/18/how…
Roadmap by PM was pretty obvious..
freemalaysiatoday.com/category/natio…
Education Minister had his say earlier on..
google.com/amp/s/www.astr…
One good lecturer was brave to voice out need to have sufficient facilities in rural schools.. and not "canang" or "small gong" the PdPR, acronym for Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran di Rumah.. the current Online Learning in schools..
freemalaysiatoday.com/category/bahas…
Strange now the same lecturer.. sings the praises of PdPR and applauds the "extra time" MOE & teachers to plan for lessons till projected reopening of "social gatherings" i.e. schools by Sep..
google.com/amp/s/www.nst.…
Which brings to my questions..
1) Are students equipped to follow the impending 3 mth Online Classes ?
2) Can they buy stationery, make notes, answer worksheets ?
3) Can teachers print material for their students ?

We know of some heroic teachers who made home deliveries !!
Questions (cont)
4) What about parents who want to upgrade devices for their kids ?
5) Can parents buy smartphones or laptops or desktops ?
6) Will parents be able to buy revision books from bookshops ?

These are all teaching aids in some form or another..
The answer to ALL above, currently is a RESOUNDING NO !!!

WHY ??
Coz of current FMCO SOP.. even department stores had to close off stationery sections !! Bookshops, IT shops, Hp shops.. all closed !! None allowed to operate.. 😔😔

So how will students thrive in PdPR till Sep ??
@threadreaderapp .. unroll .. TQ
Correction.. *questions
Not "a questions"
Additional reason PdPR is going to suffer soon !! End of June, in fact !! 😳😳

Then followed by the chicken 🐔 & sardine remark..

The #Ivermectin story in #Malaysia with regards to its usage in treating #COVID19 patients has taken a new twist !!
m.malaysiakini.com/letters/575402
Now just to put things in context.. remember #COVID19 raging in #India just a month back.. with thousands of daily deaths, open cremation & bodies thrown into the Ganges.. article below is on 24th May 2021..
google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.…
Yet within #India .. where individual States have authority to decide on health matters.. Some chose to use #Ivermectin for #COVID19 .. some chose not to.. And the results were pretty staggering !!
