Education Under the MCO

Chan Soon Seng, Programme Director, Teach For Malaysia

Education Under the MCO

With education institutions from kindergartens to universities all closed under the Movement Control Order, students have had no choice but to stay at home and find other ways to keep their education going. But if the order is extended, how much more will this affect students from all walks of life? We speak to Chan Soon Seng, Programme Director of Teach For Malaysia, about the impact this will have on education systems, public exams, and vulnerable groups among both teachers and students.
