Sekolah di Johor dibuka secara berfasa esok

Schools in Johor are being phased back to operation next week, with Phase One resuming on Monday and Tuesday limited to students who need to take exams, according to the state's Education and Communications Exco, Naqib Md Ghazali. The decision was made under the advice of Johor Sultan's representative, Tunku Mahkota Ismail, who always prioritizes the safety, health, and well-being of the whole Johor people.

He said the period would also give school management and teachers time to prepare for the Malaysian Assessment Certificate and end-of-term examinations. Phase Two is set to begin on Wednesday, with all schools across Johor operating fully, subject to air quality developments, he added in a statement. Overseeing the implementation of health and safety standard operating procedures, including mask use and school activity monitoring, will be the Johor Education Department based on the Air Pollution Index readings at the time.

The state government, along with related agencies, will continue to monitor the evolving situation closely to ensure any actions can be taken based on the current assessment. On Friday, the Johor state government decided to resume all educational institutions next week after reviewing the air quality development and agency assessments.

Only two districts in Johor reported unhealthy air quality - Pasir Gudang with a reading of 154 and Batu Pahat (127) as of 4 pm yesterday.
