KOTA KINABALU: Printed study materials will be sent to students with limited or no Internet connection in Sabah's rural Pensiangan district, 170km from here.
Pensiangan district education officer Norah Marcus said from a survey conducted by Education Department officials, only about 30% of students in the district had Internet access.
This led education officials to work with local authorities, such as district officials and village chiefs, to devise a solution.Norah said education officials then came to the decision to prepare printed materials to send to students without Internet access. “A representative from each village will be tasked with getting these materials and distributing them, ” she said.Norah said they were also looking at ways to get in touch with students who had problems with their studies but were not able to ask questions through the designated chat groups or Google platforms.
