This webinar discusses the impact of COVID-19 on indigenous children’s education. Orang Asli children have been further left behind in their education due to closure of schools during the Movement Control Order (MCO) to prevent the spread of COVID-19. There is a digital divide as these students have trouble gaining access to necessities such as electricity, internet and devices. How will indigenous students get back on track after missing nearly five months of school and continuing to suffer from further inequality? This webinar will cover these critical issues and the policy paper by IDEAS on the same theme will be presented.
