PUTRAJAYA: Teaching and learning (PdP) sessions at the school where a female student was fatally stabbed will continue as usual, says Dr Mohd Azam Ahmad.

The Education director-general said the ministry would closely monitor the situation to ensure that the investigation does not disrupt the school’s daily operations.

“We will review the matter carefully, but for now, teaching and learning activities at the school will proceed as usual.

“The ongoing investigations will not interfere with classroom sessions,” he said during a special press conference at the Education Ministry on Tuesday (Oct 14).
