Perak has maintained a ban on outdoor school activities despite improving Air Pollutant Index (API) readings, according to the state's Education, Higher Education, Youth, and Sports Committee chairman Datuk Khairudin Abu Hanipah. Schools in the state are operating as usual, with teaching and learning activities conducted indoors, covering outdoor activities like camping and sports, as well as motivational programmes.
Khairudin said the ban is based on a circular issued by the Ministry of Education (MOE) and that any need to postpone major examinations, including the KAFA Class Assessment Test (UPKK) and the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), would require joint discussion among relevant agencies.
