What is the new travel rule for parents sending kids to school?

Question

Accepted Answer

Parents no longer require police permission for school-related travel

Parents travelling across districts and states to send their children to school are no longer required to obtain police permission. Instead, they only need to present a letter from their child's school at police roadblocks to proceed. This revised regulation aims to facilitate parental arrangements as the new school term commences.
School Term Commencement Dates

The new school term is set to begin on March 1 for primary schools and April 1 for secondary schools. Specifically, primary school classes for pre-school, Standard 1, and Standard 2 will start on March 1. Classes for Standards 3 to 6 will commence a week later, on March 8.
Secondary School Start Dates

Secondary school students in Group A states, which include Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu, are scheduled to begin their school term on April 4. Students in Group B states will start their academic year on April 5. These staggered start dates are intended to manage the transition into the new academic year.
Rationale for Early Primary School Start

The earlier commencement of primary school sessions, particularly for younger pupils, is designed to allow both students and teachers adequate time to adapt to the new norms and established Covid-19 standard operating procedures. This adjustment period is considered crucial for a smooth return to physical schooling environments.
