POH: Schools can expect to get their hand sanitisers, masks and thermometers this week.
Deputy Minister Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong confirmed the Education Ministry had disbursed a total of RM3.6mil to all state Education Departments to buy the items to help contain the influenza A (H1N1) outbreak.
Speaking to reporters after opening the fourth National Union of the Teaching Profession Sports Meet here on Saturday evening, Dr Wee said schools should be receiving the items this week subject to stock availability.
“The ministry agrees that each school must have at least a thermometer, while hand sanitisers and masks are to be distributed at the discretion of the Education Department.”
Asked whether the allocation to each school was dependent on the student population, Dr Wee said it depended on the number of schools in each state.
”The respective education departments have received clear guidelines on the matter.”
Dr Wee also said that he would chair a meeting today to monitor the impact of the outbreak on schools.
