KUCHING, Oct 11: State Education Directors will decide daily whether schools continue operating as usual or switch to home-based learning amid the ongoing haze, says the Ministry of Education (MOE).
In a statement yesterday (Oct 10), the ministry said it had instructed State Education Directors to establish Haze Monitoring Task Forces involving State Education Departments and District Education Offices to monitor daily Air Pollutant Index (API) readings.
“Based on the information and data gathered by these task forces, State Education Directors will decide on the operating status of schools, whether they will operate as usual or implement home-based teaching and learning (BDR-PdPR),” the ministry said.
