Universiti Malaya Centre for Research in International and Comparative Education director Assoc Prof Dr Vishalache Balakrishnan said this was one of the things that needed to be done to reduce the number of school dropouts.
To this, Vishalache said the numbers were still high because home-based teaching and learning – the learning method employed through most of the pandemic – came with its own set of discouraging challenges. Universiti Utara Malaysia College of Arts and Sciences School of Education senior lecturer Dr Muhammad Noor Abdul Aziz said a close partnership between the schools and parents must be established.
National Union of Teaching Profession secretary-general Wang Heng Suan said schools needed more counsellors to help address the dropout problem at the preliminary stage. Wang also said some students had left school to find jobs to support their families when parents lost their jobs due to the pandemic.
