Sarawak Education Dept: Schools open tomorrow, outdoor activities halted if API tops 100

According to the New Straits Times, all schools and educational institutions in Sarawak will operate as normal tomorrow, despite the ongoing haze affecting certain areas in the state. The Sarawak Education Department has advised schools in regions where the Air Pollutant Index (API) reading surpasses 100 to suspend outdoor activities.

Students are encouraged to wear face masks as a precautionary measure. Parents and guardians may keep their children at home if they have health concerns related to the haze, provided they inform the school. Earlier, the department had temporarily closed all primary and secondary schools in the Serian, Sri Aman, and Lubok Antu districts, implementing Teaching and Learning at Home (PdPR) during the closure.
