LAHAD DATU: A total of 30 schools in Silam and Silabukan in Lahad Datu will be temporarily closed from tomorrow until further notice, said the head of the Sabah Department of Education, Dr. Mistirine Radin (photo).

She said the move was to assist the district’s disaster management committee in its efforts to contain the spread of the Covid-19 infection, following the advice of the Ministry of Health.

However, he said the face-to-face teaching and learning (PdP) process is still ongoing at the five affected high schools that involve Form Five and Form Six students.

“I hope that teachers and students adhere to the standard operating procedures established to prevent the outbreak,” he said today in a statement here.

Dr. Mistirine said that during the closure, the PdP for preschool children through Form Four students will be held online and project-based learning will also be encouraged.

Meanwhile, he said 13 other schools were closed early for the disinfection process, one in Tawau, three in Kunak and nine in Lahad Datu. –Named
