THE first day of school is usually a nerve-racking one for parents and pupils alike. 

For some parents, it’s a proud and sober day as their children learn to be independent for the first time in their lives. For some pupils, this is the day their lives truly begin.

Some cry after their parents dropped them in school, some sleep in the class and others are excited about making new friends. These moments were captured by The Malaysian Insight’s photographers. – January 2, 2020.
