SPM and STPM students for the 2021 academic year will be sitting for their examinations in March, after two years of delays, disruptions, and anxiety. How have students’ mental health been affected by these uncertainties, and what kind of support do they need? Ida Shahira, from the 2020 exam year, shares what she and her friends went through as the first “pandemic” cohort, while school counsellor Shirlena Ting weighs in on how school staff and parents can help students to cope.
