Editor's Notes
#6 Please highlight to students that if it is observed that students have not been attending lessons, always share to be working instead of attending lessons, did not submit their work or produce work based on what have been shared in class etc, classes may resume back to face to face.
Share to them that since they have made a commitment, let’s help each other to clear the subject.
