He said that the new approach will be implemented this week and the MOE will issue a media statement to clarify this matter.
“I would like to emphasise here that it is very important for parents of children who are selected to perform this test at home to be able to perform this test based on the procedures that have been set in the MOE media statement later.
This is to ensure that school sessions can take place in an orderly and safe manner. If it is not implemented according to the set procedure, which will affect not only the nephews, but their friends as well as their teachers at the school, “he said in a video recording, on Tuesday.
Commenting further, Radzi hoped that parents could play an important role in the new approach to enable the self -test to be carried out in an orderly manner.
