LSN Malaysia ·
A total of 108 schools in Serian, Sarawak, are set to close on Friday due to deteriorating air quality from haze, education authorities announced. The decision affects both primary and secondary institutions across the district as visibility and air quality indices reach levels deemed unsafe for students and staff.
During the closure period, teaching and learning activities will transition to home-based sessions, allowing students to continue their studies remotely. Schools have been instructed to implement online learning programmes to minimise disruption to the academic calendar.
The temporary shutdown is a precautionary measure to protect the health and safety of the school community. Parents and guardians have been advised to keep students indoors and limit outdoor activities during the haze episode.
District authorities will monitor air quality conditions and issue further updates on school operations. Educational institutions are prepared to resume normal classes once air quality improves to safe levels.
