  "account": "Schools in six districts of Sarawak will remain closed for two days due to poor air quality caused by haze, according to the Sarawak State Education Department (JPNS). The decision was taken as a precautionary measure to safeguard the safety, health, and well-being of students and school staff.\n\nJPNS stated that the closure is aimed at protecting the students and school personnel from the risks associated with inhaling unhealthy air. During this period, home-based learning (PdPR) will be conducted to ensure the continuity of the educational process for the students, as reported by Bernama.\n\nThe JPNS will provide further updates regarding the duration of the school closures and the resumption of classes through their official channels and the respective district education offices.",
