“However, schools in areas where the Air Pollutant Index (API) exceeds 100 must suspend all outdoor activities involving pupils and students.

“Students attending school are also encouraged to wear face masks as a health precaution amid the haze that continues to affect several areas in Sarawak,” the statement was reported as saying.

Parents and guardians may also choose not to send their children to school if they are concerned that the haze could affect their health, provided they inform the school.

JPNS stressed that the health, safety and well-being of all members of the education community remain its top priority. – DayakDaily
