Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has been a major issue for the whole world these days. It has affected many sectors, including our education field, for the past two years. Most of the school programs have either been postponed or been canceled.

The purpose of this best practice regarding the Inclusive Educational Program in SK Bukit Beruang (Bukit Beruang National School), Malacca in home learning activities was to make sure special needs pupils were still involved in inclusive activities even though they were at home and the participation of their siblings would hopefully increase their involvement and self-esteem.
