Malaysia : All Schools To Reopen In March / April 2021!
On 19 February 2021, the Minister of Education, Datuk Dr. Radzi Jidin announced that all schools will reopen in March 2021 :
- Preschool / Standard 1 / Standard 2 : 1 March 2021
- Standard 3 until Standard 6 : 8 March 2021

He explained that the younger children are being asked to return to school one week earlier, to prepare them on how to comply with the SOP.
He also explained that the reopening of secondary schools are being delayed to April 2021, to allow for SPM examinations to be carried out in safer conditions.
Even for schools that are not registered with the Malaysian Ministry of Education (KPM), they are recommended to follow the same dates.
All schools must comply with the SOP, to ensure the safety of both students and teachers.
The Minister also pointed out that one of the greatest risk that the Ministry will address with the schools is the time when parents drop off and pick up their children. The schools will be required to make sure there is adequate physical distancing.
Reopening Of Schools In Malaysia Before Vaccination?
We have to wonder why the Malaysia Ministry of Education decided to reopen schools in Malaysia, before the COVID-19 vaccination programme kicks off.
We would have expected them to at least wait until the teachers were vaccinated, before reopening the schools.
The third phase, which would include all public and private teachers, would have kicked off in May 2021.
