Back to school with joy and jitters

They were wide awake at the first ring of the alarm bell, raring to go to school yesterday.Suliza, a 36-year-old food stall operator, marvelled at how fast her daughters Nur Safiyya Amanda Mohd Hafizad, nine, and Nur Qisya Azzalea, seven, got ready.“During the school holidays, they attended home-based classes. I made a ‘Mama Daily Notebook’ to monitor their homework. I wrote down all their homework and sent it to their teachers.

In Taman Aman, seven-year-old Muhammad Fathi Khalish suddenly decided that he did not want to go to school – right at the gates.These were among the endearing scenes of kids returning to school in Perlis and Kedah amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.“Years Three, Four and Five pupils are under rotation. The school recorded a very good attendance of nearly 90%,” he said.

In Ipoh, bank officer YB Leong bought slightly bigger school uniforms for her children in 2020 with the hope that they could last for at least two years. “The 2021 syllabus will end in February. My sons are borrowing textbooks from the school, so they will only be buying some exercise books and stationery later,” she said.

“He can still fit in some older uniforms, so it’s all good for now,” he said, adding that his son had outgrown his shoes. Shop assistant K. Suresh, 59, said friends told him that the prices of uniforms, bags and shoes had also gone up.“There’s a huge outlet in Seremban which sells these items and I will buy them when it holds its back-to-school sale,” he said, adding that the sale, which used to be held before the new school term each year, did not take place this time around.
