Sekolah di Johor, 4 PPD Selangor ditutup esok akibat jerebu

The Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek announced that all schools under four Selangor District Education Offices (PPD) in Bangsar Pudu, Hulu Langat, Gombak, and Petaling Perdana will remain closed tomorrow due to ongoing smog. However, schools in Melaka, Penang, Putrajaya, Labuan, Perak, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan, Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, Perlis, Sabah, and Sarawak will continue to operate as usual.

The Education Minister clarified that schools in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, apart from the aforementioned PPD, will also operate normally. Earlier, the Ministry of Education had stated that the operational status of schools would be determined based on daily monitoring of air pollution index. The head of education in each state was instructed to establish a Task Force of Smog Watch Officers comprising the State Education Department and PPD.

Fadhlina Sidek urged parents, guardians, and teachers to always follow the latest information on school operational status through the Ministry of Education's official platform and the relevant departments.
