The Higher Education Ministry wants all institutions of higher learning (IPT) to postpone the return of students from red zone areas to campuses, which is scheduled to start next month.
This directive also covers the registration of new students from red zones. Red zones are districts with over 40 new community Covid-19 cases in the past two weeks.
Higher Education Minister Noraini Ahmad (above) said the registration and learning process for the affected students could be done online.
“The students can return to their respective campuses in accordance with the prescribed standard operating procedures (SOPs) after the situation recovers," she said in a statement that was issued following the increase of Covid-19 cases in several districts in the country.
For students who are not from red zone areas, she said, they are to enrol during specified dates stated in the academic calendars of their respective IPTs.
She said all IPTs had also been instructed to ensure the implementation of academic activities on campus is in compliance with the prescribed SOPs and priority is to be given to safety measures.
She also advised students to continue taking preventive measures such as frequent hand washing, wearing of face masks, and observing physical distancing.
