  "summary": "Negri Sembilan schools are set to reopen tomorrow after a brief closure due to poor air quality, according to a statement from the Negri Sembilan Education Department. The decision to resume normal operations comes after monitoring weather conditions and Air Pollutant Index (API) readings, with the department advising all Ministry of Education (MOE) educational institutions to operate as usual on Monday, Oct 12. Despite the reopening, school administrators have been instructed to continue monitoring air quality and adhere to existing guidelines to ensure the health and safety of pupils and staff. The department has also advised pupils to wear face masks, especially those with respiratory issues or belonging to high-risk groups. The Negri Sembilan Education Department will continue to closely monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary. Parents and guardians are advised to rely on official department channels for the latest information.",
