  "account": "All schools in the state of Negeri Sembilan will close tomorrow due to worsening air pollution conditions. The Ministry of Education (KPM) announced the decision today after monitoring air quality index readings at three monitoring stations in Negeri Sembilan - Port Dickson, Seremban, and Nilai. The Johor Education Department (JPNS) explained that the closure was made in line with the KPM's statement today based on the air pollution index readings from the three monitoring stations. Educational institutions affected are required to conduct learning and teaching activities at home to ensure uninterrupted education, taking into account students' abilities, access, needs, and teachers' preparedness. Teachers and members of the management team are also allowed to work from home throughout the closure period, prioritizing the safety, health, and well-being of students and educational personnel. The JPNS and education offices at the state and district levels, as well as educational institutions, will continue to monitor air quality index readings and take appropriate actions based on developments and KPM guidelines, according to the statement. Parents and guardians are advised to remain vigilant about developments and provide support to ensure the safety and health of children throughout the pollution episode.",
