Holistic approach needed from MoE to address learning loss among primary school students, say experts

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 12 — Farah Alina P. Ramli is relieved schools have reopened and her son Qawiem Fuadi Shahrul Hazli can return to face-to-face teaching and learning sessions.

Farah Alina, 36, a public-sector employee, told Bernama that PdPR has been very challenging for her and her son as it demanded a high level of commitment. Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Centre for Research on Educational Leadership and Policy chairman Associate Prof Dr Azlin Norhaini Mansor said the failure to master the three basic learning tools will affect these pupils’ learning process at the higher level resulting in them lagging behind if no intervention measures are implemented.

She said according to Unesco estimates, 50 percent of children worldwide did not attend school at all during the pandemic. She opined that the MoE cannot afford to come up with one-off or short-term measures, stressing that any strategy to address this issue should include mitigation and intervention programmes with short-term and long-term goals.Azlin Norhaini said what concerns her most is that the effects of learning loss among primary schoolchildren nationwide will only be evident much later when they sit for their SPM examination.

UKM Centre for Research on Community Education and Well-being lecturer Dr Anuar Ahmad said this is because most classrooms have over 40 pupils each which make it difficult for teachers to give their attention to every child.
