Pahang schools to operate as usual tomorrow despite haze

Pahang schools will continue with their regular operations tomorrow, despite the ongoing haze, according to the Pahang Education Department. In a recent statement, the department clarified that any future changes will be communicated through the local district education offices, based on the evolving Air Pollutant Index (API) readings.

To ensure the safety and well-being of all, the department has instructed everyone involved - including teachers, students, and school staff - to wear face masks that effectively cover their nose and mouth. Parents, guardians, and school staff are urged to follow any official announcements issued by their respective schools. The safety, health, and welfare of students and the education community remain the paramount concern for the department.

On a related note, all educational institutions in Rompin, under the jurisdiction of the Pahang Education Department, were temporarily halted on Friday due to safety concerns. Further directives were issued as conditions were assessed.
