Episode: Education (Part 2) - 2020 Challenges Addressed?
Description: As we start the academic year, some students are returning to the classroom while others continue with home-based learning. In fact, national school students had only two full months of in-class sessions -- in February and August. The ministry of education has had most of last year to prepare for the start of this academic year -- our second year into the pandemic. What have we done to address the challenges of blended learning that were identified throughout last year? Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan speak to Professor Ganakumaran Subramaniam, Head of School of Education, University of Nottingham Malaysia.
