  "account": "Schools in Johor are reopening gradually tomorrow, starting with Phase 1 for students who need to sit exams, according to the state's Education and Communication Committee head, Naqib Md Ghazali. The decision was made in line with the advice from the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Johor, Tunku Mahkota Ismail, who always emphasizes the importance of safety, health, and well-being for the whole Johore state. This period will also give school authorities and teachers time to prepare for the Malaysian Penultimate Examination and the end-of-term exams. Phase 2 will commence on Wednesday with all schools in Johor operating fully as usual, subject to air quality developments, the statement said. In a release, Naqib stated that in response, the Johor State Education Department will coordinate the implementation of health and safety SOP procedures, including mask usage and school premises activity monitoring, based on the Air Pollution Index (API) readings at the time. The state government and relevant agencies will continue to monitor the evolving situation to ensure that any necessary actions are taken based on the current conditions. Yesterday, the Johor state government decided that all educational institutions would resume operations tomorrow after considering the air quality developments and agency assessments. Only two districts in Johor reported unhealthy API levels, namely Pasir Gudang with 154 and Batu Pahat (127) as of 4 pm yesterday.",
