On September 24, all 108 schools in the Serian district were temporarily closed due to severe haze conditions. The Sarawak Education Department announced the decision after continuous monitoring revealed the Air Pollutant Index (API) had surpassed 201, reaching 214 as of 10pm that day.
The closure will remain in effect as long as API readings stay at that level or higher. During the temporary closure, teaching and learning activities will shift to Home-Based Teaching and Learning (PdPR). The department implemented the measure in line with Circular Letter No. 1 of 2019.
The Sarawak Education Department stated that further updates on the schools' reopening would be announced later.
