The Education Ministry has announced that schools will be reopening starting October 3rd based on phases under the National Recovery Plan. Expanding on our education system's updates, first, we hear from parent and educational psychologist about how families are coping with returning to school. Then, we talk about the Education Ministry's initiatives to be more inclusive of B40 students and what more could be done to provide them with support. Finally, we check in with a teacher.
