Learning & Development EDUCATION CHALLENGES FACED TODAY Lack of IT skills among teachers, lack of concentration and low student attendance are major concerns. Research by University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) revealed that 70% to 80% of teachers said it was difficult to get students to pay attention in the new teaching mode. Other complaints include lack of suitable devices to conduct home learning, weaknesses in infrastructure and poor internet access. Results of the study showed that attendance has dropped below 80% and many students have difficulty focusing on lessons because of unfavourable conditions at home. Students without WiFi or computers will receive instructions from teachers for homework via WhatsApp. There are suggestions to mobilise a team in every district and state education office to act as one-stop centre to deal with issues related to online classes to ensure smooth online learning can be conducted so that students in rural areas are left out of online classes.
