The Impact of Movement Control Orders on Malaysian School Administrators during COVID-19
Keywords:
COVID-19, Malaysia, Movement control order, Pandemic, School administratorAbstract
The COVID-19 problem has the potential to change our
planet and our global outlook. It could also inform us about
how education needs to evolve to better prepare our young
students for the future. For the time being, educators all
across the world are debating the necessity to rethink how
future generations will be educated. This could simply be a
disruption that forces us to reconsider how we educate and
ask ourselves what should be taught and what we should be
preparing our students for. In the future decades, successful
people will need to be able to recognize this
interconnectedness and traverse across boundaries to
leverage their uniqueness and collaborate globally. As
educators struggle to find new ways to communicate with
students outside of the classroom, now is a good opportunity
to consider how these disruptive crises might help us define
what learning should include. What adjustments would have
to be made in school administrators' preparation if the focus
of their training switched to assisting them in more
consciously selecting the lenses that guided their school
change efforts?
