General : Haze: Schools In Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu To Operate As Usual Tomorrow
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 (Bernama) -- Schools in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu will operate as usual tomorrow as the Air Pollutant Index (API) readings in the three states remain under control.
Alor Setar, October 10 — Educational institutions across Kedah will resume their regular operations tomorrow, according to the Kedah State Education Department (JPN). As of 2 pm today, the Air Pollutant Index (API) readings at all monitoring locations in the state were found to be below 100. However, this decision remains contingent on any further instructions from the Ministry of Education and relevant authorities.
The Kedah JPN extends its gratitude to His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, for his concern and decree emphasizing the priority of ensuring the safety, health, and welfare of students and educational personnel amidst the haze affecting various regions in the country. Although the API readings are currently below the threshold, the department advises school administrators and institutions to stay vigilant towards the latest updates, monitoring the API readings via official Department of Environment channels.
They are also urged to take necessary precautions to safeguard the well-being of students and staff, especially those who may be particularly sensitive to air quality conditions. If any signs of ill health are observed, appropriate actions should be immediately taken.
The Kedah JPN reaffirms its commitment to keep a close watch on the evolving haze situation and will collaborate with all District Education Offices and educational institutions, in line with the most recent readings and directives issued by the authorities.
