Episode 7
Monday, 15 June, 2020
With COVID-19 shutting schools down in Malaysia, schools have had to instantly adapt to an online learning environment. With zero time to prepare, how are schools, teachers, and students coping? In this episode of the Surin Academy Show, we're with a smorgasbord of people representing diverse sectors of the Malaysian education scene. We have: - Rinnie, the co-founder of the Surin Academy, a small and inclusive international school in KL. - Dipti, the CEO of the Malaysian Collective Impact Initiative, a social impact organisation that runs education interventions in local public schools. - Alyssa, an experienced teacher representing a local Chinese school. - Alina, co-founder of Arus Academy, a makerspace academy in KL and Penang. - And finally, Sue who heads the Hong Leong Foundation. Together they're giving us a good picture of what's the state of Malaysian education during the school shut-down caused by COVID-19.
