Coronavirus: Attendance not compulsory for students allowed back to school in May

SINGAPORE - Precautions will be taken to keep students safe as they are allowed back to school, including institutes of higher learning , from May 19 but attendance is not compulsory.

"It also allows students who need to use school facilities and equipment for subjects with coursework and practical components to catch up on their work." The students will also stay in class groupings, with no intermingling, and use well-ventilated venues with fixed exam-style seating and appropriate distancing.

"Preparation and taking of national examinations... regarded as very important to many parents and students as they affect future education postings."

Very confusing

So the schools are open but attendance are not compulsory ?
