  "summary": "The National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP) has called for faster school closure notices in response to the disruptive impact of haze on daily routines, particularly for working parents. The union, represented by secretary-general Fouzi Singon, has expressed concerns over the delayed announcements that leave parents scrambling to arrange childcare and support home-based learning. In light of the Ministry of Education's directive to close schools when the Air Pollutant Index (API) reaches 180, NUTP has highlighted the need for timely notifications to allow parents and teachers to plan accordingly.",
