       EDITOR'S NOTE:
                                                   SCHOOL BEGINS DESPITE MCO
                                                   It was announced in mid-January that some states were to be under
                                                   Movement Control Order (MCO) and others under Conditional Movement
                                                   Control Order (CMCO).

                                                   For states under MCO, students will be learning via online learning except for
                                                   Form 5 students. Students sitting for public examinations were allowed back
                                                   to school to attend classes.

                                                   Schools located in states under CMCO can start school as usual. Let's continue

Many are also eager to find out if schools will
start as scheduled. Although the pandemic
is still around, but that’s not going to stop us
from pursuing our true purpose, which is to
provide quality education to the
underprivileged children.

In fact, we have been busy preparing
proposals and contacting our strategic
partners and schools to discuss moving
forward plans for this year. It is good to look
at year 2021 as an opportunity for the better.

Lifelong Learning IT Programme 2021
 For this year, Lifelong Learning IT (LIT) programme for 2021 will be
 extended to two different modules targeting different age groups.

In partnership with Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya (MBPJ), inspiraComm Sdn Bhd has worked closely with MBPJ
to deliver the Lifelong Learning IT (LIT) modules with the objective to enhance computer literacy amongst the
underprivileged children.

This year, MBPJ has decided to extend its programme to five schools, comprising of 3 primary and 2 secondary
schools, to reach out to more children. Hence, the modules will not include only sessions on how to use the
basic skills of Microsoft Power Point, Excel and Word applications but also to include a new module focusing on
educating the Form 4 students on how to repair computers. Part of this module will also include some
entrepreneurial topics to educate the children on how to earn an income to start a business by repairing
computers.

Learning & Development
       EDUCATION CHALLENGES FACED TODAY
                                  Lack of IT skills among teachers, lack of
                                     concentration and low student
                                     attendance are major concerns.
                        Research by University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) revealed that 70% to 80% of
                        teachers said it was difficult to get students to pay attention in the new teaching
                        mode.

                        Other complaints include lack of suitable devices to conduct home learning,
                        weaknesses in infrastructure and poor internet access. Results of the study
                        showed that attendance has dropped below 80% and many students have
                        difficulty focusing on lessons because of unfavourable conditions at home.
                         Students without WiFi or computers will receive instructions from teachers for
                        homework via WhatsApp.

                        There are suggestions to mobilise a team in every district and state education
                        office to act as one-stop centre to deal with issues related to online classes to
                        ensure smooth online learning can be conducted so that students in rural areas
                        are left out of online classes.
