KUALA LUMPUR – The relaxation to allow operation of kindergartens from last Friday includes all private kindergartens and kindergartens at private schools, international schools and expatriate schools that are registered with the Education Ministry (MoE).
As announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob last Wednesday, the MoE explained that the relaxation covers states in Phases 1 and 2 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP) and for children aged 4 to 6 whose parents or guardians are working.
“The operation of these kindergartens is subject to classroom capacity with the required physical distancing,” the ministry said in a statement.
Prior to this, Ismail Sabri, in announcing the relaxation of Covid-19 NRP SOPs for several sectors, also said that kindergartens, nurseries, day-care centres and mental development centres are allowed to reopen in states under Phase 1 and 2 of the NRP. – Bernama, September 19, 2021
