Selangor religious schools closed due to haze
KUALA LUMPUR: All religious schools under the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) will close from today due to the haze.
Selangor's Islamic religious schools have suspended operations due to the current haze situation. The move was announced by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) in line with the Education Ministry's directive. Private Islamic schools affiliated with JAIS are instructed to adhere to this decision, transitioning to home-based teaching and learning for uninterrupted education of students.
Teachers and support staff are expected to work remotely until the closure is lifted. On a separate note, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek had earlier declared that schools in four states, including Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Rompin district in Pahang, would also be closed because of the worsening haze conditions. Director Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad called upon parents and guardians to stay informed through the department's official updates, especially concerning the reopening dates of schools.
