Haze Chokes Education: A Repeated Lesson in Sarawak's Fading Air Quality The latest round of school closures in Sarawak due to hazardous haze conditions is a stark reminder of Malaysia's ongoing struggle with air pollution.
For the second time in two weeks, students and staff are being forced to take a break from classrooms in six districts across the state, as air quality plummets to unhealthy levels.
The state Education Department has taken the precautionary measure of closing schools for two days starting August 20th, citing concerns over student and staff health.
