Twenty-seven schools in Tebedu to close due to haze

The Sarawak Department of Education has ordered the closure of 27 schools in the Tebedu area effective tomorrow as a precautionary measure against deteriorating air quality from regional haze.

The decision reflects growing concerns over haze-related health impacts in the district. The closure will affect students across multiple educational levels in the affected zone.

During the closure period, the education department confirmed that teaching and learning activities will proceed through home-based learning sessions. This arrangement ensures that curriculum continuity is maintained while protecting students and staff from exposure to poor air quality.

The department has not specified a reopening date, indicating that the decision will be reviewed based on air quality improvements and haze conditions in the coming days.
