Abstract: The current study aims to reveal the role of applying synchronous and asynchronous learning strategies in Malaysian public schools on the continuity of education during the Covid-19 crisis. Public secondary schools in the state of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia are considered to be the target study population, which number 113 schools in the state of Kuala Lumpur. The study sample included 186 principals and administrative employees of these schools. A Quantitative Survey Questionnaire will be used to collect data, so that the research questionnaire measures the independent variable ( Synchronous and asynchronous learning strategy) and the dependent variable, (continuity of education). Synchronous and asynchronous learning strategies have a statistically significant impact on the continuity of education in Malaysian public secondary schools. The results also indicate the positive direction of this relationship, that is, the application of the synchronous and asynchronous learning strategy is directly proportional to the continuity of secondary school education. The greater the degree of application of the synchronous and asynchronous learning strategy, the greater the probability of continuity of school education, and vice versa.
