MOE to consider closing schools & postponing exams if next-day PSI forecast exceeds 300: Desmond Lee

Singapore's Ministry of Education (MOE) is prepared to close schools and postpone national exams if the next day's PSI forecast exceeds 300, according to Minister for Education Desmond Lee. Lessons and exams will continue in enclosed venues with air purifiers if required. Students who are unwell and unable to sit for their exams may apply for Special Consideration through their schools.

MOE will monitor the situation closely each day and decide on school closures around 8pm the day before. Lee assures that the health and well-being of students and staff remain the top priority.
