MOE Ready For Home-Based Learning

Apr 21, 2025

The Education Ministry is ready to roll out home-based teaching and learning, during the ASEAN summits in May and October.

Minister Fadhlina Sidek  says the matter has already been discussed internally, and they are in the process of identifying the schools involved.

This, following a proposal for classes to be conducted remotely when the ASEAN meetings are held, in order to minimize the effects of traffic congestion.

It comes in the wake of public complaints about road closures and heavy traffic around the Klang Valley, during the Chinese President’s recent visit to KL.

The Communications Ministry is calling for stern action over yet another incident of an incomplete Jalur Gemilang being displayed.

The latest case saw one of the exhibitors at a baby expo in KL playing a video with the wrong Malaysian flag.

The Ministry says at least five police reports have been lodged so far.

This is the third such incident in the span of a week…after two local dailies earlier got into trouble for displaying images of an incomplete Jalur Gemilang.

The Selangor government is taking steps to improve its disaster response, in the wake of the recent Putra Heights pipeline fire.

As such, members of the state’s disaster management unit will be sent for training overseas later this year to equip them with up-to-date expertise on how to handle such incidents in the future.

A state exco member says they want to learn from countries like Japan – who possess strong disaster response systems.

The government wants schools, parents and the relevant agencies to give more attention to sex education, amid concerns over child safety in the digital age.

The Women, Family and Community Development Ministry says there are elements of sex-ed in the school curriculum, but the content is limited, and is often under-emphasized.
