Utilise e-books or online learning system for primary school pupils to lessen the “heavy bag phenomenon”, urged education groups. Online learning portals such as 1BestariNet should have provided ample learning material for teachers as substitute for additional workbooks without having pupils bringing extra workload to school. National Union of Teaching Profession president Kamarozaman Abd Razak said this “heavy bag phenomenon” had often been overlooked by the ministry.
