Other concerns about going back to school
  1. I think there should have been one or two week rehearsal session for teachers and students together on how to adapt to new normal situation inside the school.
    Since I'm an A/L student I feel that  we are not properly informed as to what steps we should take in order to prepare for the exam.

    There is a group who couldn’t complete the work at home during the school closure. Need more time to complete.
    Online learning procedures should be continued. Provide equal opportunities for all the students specially in technology usage.
    Extending school hours is stressing. Finish school at 1.30pm.
    There is no satisfaction about health systems in the society. There is no health procedures in the trains and buses
    Make masks mandatory for children and drivers in school vans and other transportation methodologies. If not adhered, apply fines and follow the legal procedures.

    Can students participate to sports? What are the guidelines? 
See by the numbers how we are engaging youth voices for positive social change.
