  • Although we reduced the number of subjects per day, we are confident that we will still be able to complete all subjects in the curriculum, said Amiruddin. This a monumentally stupid statement. Schools have been closed for nearly 3 months! School time is to be reduced. How the hell can you expect to complete the syllabi? A realistic assessment must be made and what can be salvaged should be and what cannot, should be left for later.
