Malaysia has closed schools in several states and regions due to worsening haze conditions caused by forest fires in neighboring Indonesia. The decision affects over 1,100 schools and 600,000 students in areas where the Air Pollution Index (API) has reached unhealthy levels. The closures are a precautionary measure to ensure the safety and health of students, teachers, and staff. Some schools have shifted to online learning or home-based teaching methods during the closure. The haze situation is being continuously monitored, and schools are expected to reopen once air quality improves.
