PETALING JAYA: Somewhere in a hilly area of Sabah’s Tuaran district is a primary school with 52 students and it has problems typical of rural schools in the state.It was impossible for some students to get connected to the internet in their homes for online learning during the movement control order period that began in March, said the headmaster, whom students and teachers fondly refer to as Cikgu Matli.
He said the teachers did not face too many problems conducting lessons from their homes and sending out tasks to their students because they generally have good internet connections in their houses.“For the teachers, any task requiring internet use is difficult,“ Matli said, adding that they sometimes had to climb to higher ground to get connected.
