School Session in Johor to Resume This Monday
Published
All educational institutions in the state of Johor will resume operations as usual on Monday, October 26. This decision was made after authorities assessed the improving air quality conditions throughout the state.
Previously, several schools were forced to close temporarily due to the haze affecting the area. The closure measure was taken to ensure the health and safety of students and teachers were protected from the effects of poor air quality.
Authorities have been monitoring the Air Pollutant Index (API) readings from time to time before granting permission for schools to reopen. Improving weather conditions have allowed classroom learning activities to resume without any restrictions.
However, schools and parents are advised to remain vigilant regarding changes in air quality. If the haze situation worsens again, schools are requested to adhere to the standard operating procedures (SOPs) established by the Ministry of Education Malaysia.
Students are reminded to take care of their health by drinking sufficient plain water and wearing face masks if necessary. Schools will also monitor outdoor activities to ensure they are safe for students to perform.
