SINGAPORE – Muhammad Al-Zaim Muhammad Shafiq is starting Primary 1 in January 2024, but he spent much of his pre-school life wearing a mask and practising social distancing.
He started nursery school at My First Skool at Block 63 Telok Blangah Heights when he was three, shortly before Covid-19 forced all schools to shut down during the circuit breaker in April 2020.
