A group of teachers in Malaysia has drawn praise online after they were seen braving heavy rain to shelter students as they made their way home from school.

A video of the incident, shared on Threads on Thursday (May 7), showed several students being covered with a large sheet of canvas as teachers escorted them towards the school gate.

In the post caption, the user wrote: "Getting soaked in the rain for the children."

As the canvas was not large enough to shield everyone, some teachers could be seen getting drenched in the rain while helping the students.

In the video, a teacher at the back can also be seen guiding a child who appears to have been caught in the rain.

The clip has since garnered more than 5,300 likes and 214 shares.
