GEORGE TOWN: Form One student N. Khirankhumar has forgotten when he last went to school to attend classes. When lessons are done online, he and his siblings are on their own at home while their parents are at work. His mother R. Maliga, 45, a cleaner, said she hopes schools will only reopen next year after the Covid-19 situation improves. We would rather have our children take online lessons at home while we are out working,” she said. Housewife Lee Joo Im, 43, who has three children aged 16, 15 and eight, also wants physical schooling to be postponed until the Covid-19 situation improves.
