KOTA BARU – The Education Ministry (MoE) has yet to set a time limit regarding permission for students, teachers and members of the implementing group at all its educational institutions to wear appropriate sports attire during the current hot spell, said its minister Fadhlina Sidek.
She said the special permission depends on weather conditions and is given to avoid any health complications.
“The MoE does not make decisions on its own, we are assisted by the Health Ministry and the Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Ministry, which constantly monitor the weather and temperature to ensure that we can continue our activities with the students.
“This step is also to ensure that unwanted incidents can be prevented,” she said.
She said this to reporters after attending the Madani Education Roadshow dan Aidilfitri with the Education Minister event, here today.
Also present were Education Director-General Datuk Pkharuddin Ghazali, Kelantan education director Mohd Zamri Abdul Aziz and CelcomDigi chief enterprise business officer Afizulazha Abdullah.
At the event, Fadhlina also launched the EL30 and M40 Teacher package, which is a strategic collaboration between Yayasan Didik Negara and CelcomDigi.
On May 3, the MoE gave special permission to students, teachers and members of the implementing group at all its educational institutions to wear appropriate sports attire during the ongoing hot weather to avoid any health complications.
The MoE also said that neckties are not mandatory for students wearing school uniforms. – Bernama, May 20, 2023
