Radzi added that the students do not have to pay compensation for the damaged books and book replacements.
This announcement comes in time to enable the teaching and learning (PdP) sessions to run smoothly next week.
However, it’s not said how the students will receive the new textbooks.
Since the teachers are tasked to record the number of damaged textbooks, remember to inform your teachers if you need new textbooks for the new school year.
