The Malaysian Ministry of Education (MOE) has announced that state education directors will now decide on school operations based on daily Air Pollutant Index (API) readings due to concerns raised by parents and guardians regarding the health impact of haze on their children. The Haze Monitoring Task Committees, comprising state education departments (JPN) and district education offices (PPD), will monitor API readings at specified times each day to determine whether schools will continue operating as usual or switch to home-based teaching and learning (BDR-PdPR).
The MOE will announce the operating status of schools in Group A states by 2.45 pm every Saturday and for Group B states by 2.45 pm every Sunday. Parents and guardians are urged to closely monitor official announcements through the official communication channels of JPN, PPD, and respective schools for any changes to school operations.
