Selangor introduces free e-learning platform

By Ashwin Kumar

SHAH ALAM, April 2 — Due to the spiralling number of Covid-19 cases in the country that have led to the temporary closures of schools, the state administration has activated a free e-learning platform for Selangor students, says Selangor Menteri Besar.

Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said the e-learning platform is made available for students from Year One to Form Five in the state so that they can continue to study at home, especially during the movement order control (MCO) period.

“Education is an important aspect of human capital development in Selangor especially in our quest to push for a smart state by 2025. The e-learning platform is an initiative under the second phase of the Selangor economic stimulus package (announced on Wednesday).

“It will be activated from today until May 31 and students in Selangor can register and use this application through the website at selangortutor.com,” he said in a statement today.

Amirudin said the e-learning application is accessible via digital devices such as desktop, notebook, tablet, and smartphone.

He said a total of 130,000 online worksheets in line with the Education Ministry curriculum have been made available on the platform.

“Parents would be able to access the application as well, especially to keep track of their children’s online learning from time to time,” added Amirudin.

Amirudin on April 1 had announced an additional allocation of RM272.5 million in the second phase of the Selangor Cares Package 2.0, which brings a total RM400 million of funds to be used to cushion the economic impact in the state caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
