Penang Education Dept sets up haze ‘war room’, schools to switch to home learning once API hits 200

The Penang Education Department (JPNPP) has established a 'war room' to monitor the haze situation in the state, with the aim of implementing home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) if the Air Pollutant Index (API) reaches 200. Director Mohamad Dziauddin Mat Saad stated that the department will closely monitor API readings at four monitoring stations in Penang, and will inform schools accordingly.

Additionally, the department is preparing contingency plans for potential disruptions to the Malaysia Schools Sports Council (MSSM) Football Championship and the 15th Malaysian Scout Jamboree (MYJAM15) due to worsening air quality.
