Flood-Affected IPT Given Flexibility To Conduct Online Classes

PUTRAJAYA, Nov 24 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) has given flood-affected institutions of higher learning (IPT) the flexibility to conduct online teaching and learning (PdP) to ensure uninterrupted educational delivery.

The ministry said it has closely monitored the flood situation in several states on the east coast and northern Peninsular Malaysia following continuous heavy rains.

According to the MoHE, the current floods have affected not only urban and residential areas, but also several IPTs, disrupting campus operations and PdP implementation.

“At the same time, flood operations rooms at the affected IPTs have been activated to provide students, staff and parents with up-to-date information on the situation, as well as immediate assistance, including food, temporary shelter and essential supplies,” the ministry said in a statement here today.

The MoHE also urged all IPT staff affected by the floods to prioritise their personal safety, remain in safe areas and follow the instructions of the authorities and security personnel.
