In Kedah, Johor, Kelantan and

scheduled to start on Dec 18, while for
the rest of the country, Dec 19.
Education Minister Dr Radzi Jidin
said the decision to close schools was

of the conditional movement control
order (CMCO) effective today until Dec
6 in all states in the peninsula except
Kelantan, Pahang and Perlis.
“The move is taken to help the
government break the chain of Covid-

conference yesterday.
“All schoolchildren will only be back
at school on Jan 20, 2021. Primary
school pupils will also start face-to-face
learning on the same day.”
He said students in Forms One, Four,
Five and Six and those in vocational
colleges will also begin face-to-face
learning on the same day.
The school year for those in Forms
Two and Three will also begin on Jan 20
but they will be confined to home-
