Anchor Educational Campaigns On Values Not Politics

The directive by the Ministry of Education (MOE) for schools to hold a Palestine Solidarity Week sparked backlash after social media posts showing children and teachers brandishing weapons went viral. We discuss the fallout with Chan Soon Seng, CEO with Teach For Malaysia and how school children can be taught about conflict and humanitarian issues in an appropriate, meaningful way.
