Both the students complained of a splitting headache before they died due to ruptured blood vessels in their head.
The Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) is concerned with the difficulties faced by students due to online learning and teaching. The MOHE is collaborating with the Counseling Council and Careers of Public Universities of Malaysia (Makuma), to develop a Mental Health module for university students to deal with stress, depression and anxiety.
Likewise, higher education institutions are suggested to follow the advisory note issued by the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA) to ensure that students mental well-being are taken care of. This includes conducting teaching and learning by taking into account of the current situation, introducing various online learning methods according to the suitability of courses offered, and above all, extending assessments and evaluations if required.
