Jerebu: Sekolah Agama Kerajaan Johor dan IPIS Turut Ditutup Dua Hari

The recent haze incident has prompted authorities to take proactive measures to safeguard the health of students and staff. Schools across several Malaysian states, including Johor, have implemented closures as part of a broader effort to mitigate exposure to harmful pollutants.

Closure of Religious Government Schools and Private Institutions

Due to deteriorating air quality caused by jerebu (haze), both religious government schools in Johor and private Islamic institutions (IPIS) have been ordered to close for two consecutive days. This decision aligns with guidelines issued by environmental agencies to protect vulnerable populations such as children and educators.

• Religious government schools in Johor are among those affected.
• Private Islamic education institutions also face temporary closure.

Broader Impact on Education Sector

Beyond Johor, educational establishments in six states have similarly suspended operations during the peak haze period. These include public and private schools, ensuring that all levels of education receive necessary protection against airborne contaminants. The move underscores the priority given to student welfare amid environmental challenges.
