Pengarah pendidikan negeri tentukan status operasi sekolah

The Malaysian Ministry of Education has delegated the decision-making power regarding school operating status to the State Education Director. This comes in response to the severe air pollution currently affecting the country. The ministry has instructed the State Education Directors to form a monitoring committee to track the Air Pollution Index (API) daily.

This committee, which includes the State Education Department and District Education Office, will provide this data to the State Education Director. Based on this data, the State Education Director will decide whether schools should operate normally, adopt a home-based teaching and learning approach, or close. The ministry announced that the State Education Director will announce this decision on Saturdays for schools closed on Fridays and Saturdays, and on Sundays for schools closed on Saturdays and Sundays, before 2:45 pm.

For other days, the Ministry will announce the decision before 5:45 pm based on the API readings released by the Department of Environment. It is requested that everyone, particularly parents and guardians, remain calm and pay attention to announcements made by the State Education Director through the official communication channels of the State Education Department, District Education Office, and school-specific communication channels.
