Here are the uniform, attendance and testing requirements for the 2022-2023 school term in Malaysia.
School Uniforms
Students are encouraged to wear their school uniforms. However, they are allowed to wear suitable clothes if their school uniforms no longer fit.
School Attendance
Parents or guardians can choose not to send their children to school, and it won’t be considered as a disciplinary offence. However, parents / guardians must inform the school of their decision, for the record.

10% of primary school students will undergo self-administered COVID-19 screening tests at home, under the guidance of their parents / guardians.
The schools will identify students that need to undergo the COVID-19 screening tests, and provide the self-test kit, as well as the test confirmation slip to the student to bring home.
The results of the self-administered COVID-19 screening test must be reported to the school.
