“We have 30 teachers and we did not encounter any problem on the first day school reopened. We also followed the standard operating procedures (SOPs) stated by the Education Ministry (KPM).
“We hope to get cooperation from the parents or guardians in ensuring their children put on face mask in the school compound.
A temperature test will be carried out by the teachers at the main gate Children with more than 37.5 degree Celsius are not allowed to enter the school. All the children are forced to wash their hands with soap or hand sanitizer before entering their classroom,” she said.
