  "account": "Pendidikan Malaysia states that students are encouraged to wear face masks, while parents concerned about their children's health may keep them at home, provided the school is informed beforehand. Schools in Malacca, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Kuantan, Rompin, and Bentong, Pahang will operate as usual tomorrow, but all outdoor activities are postponed due to haze. School administrators must continuously monitor the air pollution index (API) from the Department of Environment and pay special attention to high-risk students. In a separate statement, they advise the public to refer to the official channels or schools for the latest information. In Pahang, Kuantan, Rompin, and Bentong schools will open tomorrow, but all classroom activities will be delayed. For other areas, schools will operate as normal. Any changes will be announced in due course via each District Education Office, according to a Facebook post. Earlier, the Ministry of Education announced the extension of the deadline for submitting homework for several school assessments in the School-Based Assessment Management System due to the haze. The deadline for submitting grades for the Academic Year End Examination (AYEE) and the Final Year Examination (FYE/PASE) has been extended from November 21 to November 28, while the submission of marks for Physical Education, Sports, and Co-curricular Activities (PAJSK) has been extended from November 30 to December 5.",
