Students urged to use social media to communicate with teachers

KLANG: Deputy Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Maglin Dennis D'Cruz has urged students to maintain good relations with their teachers by using social media such as Facebook.

He said this was because students who have completed their schooling could always come back to their respective teachers to seek views on certain issues using the social media if they have problems interacting with their college or university professors. 

 

"Students who have completed their schooling and undergoing difficulties interacting with their college professors should adopt social media such as the Facebook to communicate with their former teachers in school to seek clarification on certain issues as they know each other for many years," he told reporters after officiating the Klang Convent secondary school's graduation event here today.  

 

Maglin advised all the schools in the country to emulate Klang Convent secondary school in organising a graduation day for their students so that they could feel a pinch of what graduation is all about.    

 

About 290 Form Five students from the school who are going to sit for Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia next month received their scrolls from the deputy minister at the event. -- BERNAMA
