PETALING JAYA: Schools should begin preparing for the return of their students two weeks before reopening, says the National Union of Teaching Profession (NUTP).
Its president Aminuddin Awang said this would coincide with the same time frame of notice given by the Education Ministry as to when schools will be allowed to reopen.
“We are also worried that without a time limit, schools will arbitrarily call teachers to return to schools for the preparation processes, ” he told reporters on Sunday via Zoom. Among the preparations suggested by NUTP are ensuring the layout of classroom tables and study area, as well as lighting and ventilation are in accordance with Health Ministry and Education Ministry standard operating procedures .
