PETALING JAYA: Students should be empowered to develop a variety of skills instead of focusing on their academic ability, says Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon (pic). On e-learning, he added, although there were many who might find it challenging to have virtual lessons, online learning was the most viable learning method due to the pandemic. “Despite the difficulties, we can see that online learning has been expedited,” Dr Mah said, pointing out various efforts to help with the transition. There are about 20 education centres running the classes and the target is to have 100 centres participating in them. The other activity is “Share Zone 2.0”, a contest where people upload on Instagram their creative artwork along the theme of “Lindung Diri, Lindung Semua” (Protect yourself, Protect others).
