The Johor education department has committed to issuing daily bulletins regarding school closures, an official said, citing compliance requirements under the state's administrative framework.
An executive councillor explained that the department is obligated to follow these procedural guidelines regardless of the broader decision by the state government to maintain school closures until the end of the week.
The daily updates are intended to keep parents, educators and the public informed of any changes to closure status or operational decisions affecting educational institutions across the state.
The move underscores the administrative protocols that must be observed by government departments when implementing education-related decisions, even when overarching directives have already been issued by state leadership.
Schools across Johor remain closed pending further developments, with officials expected to provide additional information through the scheduled daily communications.
