A Malaysian teacher has warmed hearts online after going the extra mile to make sure his students did not fall behind during the recent haze-related school closures.
According to Harian Metro, Mohammad Alif Rahman, better known as Cikgu Alif, personally visited the homes of 15 students to conduct face-to-face lessons.
Teacher goes house-to-house
Cikgu Alif is a remedial education teacher at SK Paya Mas in Tangkak, Johor.
While schools were closed due to the haze, he decided to visit his students at home so they could continue learning without depending fully on online classes.
He said the visits were meant to make learning easier for the students and ensure they did not fall behind.
Gets permission from school and parents
Before visiting the students, Cikgu Alif first obtained permission from the school and informed their parents.
He would then arrange his visits based on the students’ availability.
According to Harian Metro, the lessons were conducted individually, allowing him to focus on each student’s learning needs.
Not his first time doing this
Cikgu Alif has reportedly used a similar approach before, including during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period.
His efforts have since drawn praise online, with many commending him for going beyond the classroom to make sure his students could continue learning.
For Cikgu Alif, the goal was simple — if the students could not come to school, he would bring the lesson to them.
