Johor schools to stay closed until Friday
However, schools in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu will carry on as usual tomorrow, the education ministry said.
Air quality concerns in Johor have led to the indefinite closure of schools until Friday, state officials announced. The haze and deteriorating air quality across the state prompted the decision, made at the behest of the Johor regent, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, to protect students' health and safety. The eight affected areas include Pasir Gudang, Larkin, Tangkak, Segamat, Kota Tinggi, Pengerang, Batu Pahat, and Kluang, all experiencing unhealthy air pollution readings today.
In response, the education ministry has implemented home-based teaching and learning to ensure educational continuity. Schools in Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu will remain operational as air quality remains under control. The ministry will continue to monitor air quality in the region.
