Johor school safety and infrastructure management

Overview

The Johor state government has introduced measures to manage school safety and infrastructure. Initially, the state issued guidelines for schools to monitor the Air Pollutant Index (API) due to rising haze levels. Under these protocols, outdoor activities must be suspended if the API exceeds 100, and schools are required to close if the index surpasses 200.

Following these health safety measures, the state announced plans to establish a special committee to oversee school construction and maintenance. This committee is intended to address infrastructure issues, such as damaged roofs and drainage systems, by implementing a systematic priority-based plan. The state continues to reinforce haze safety protocols, maintaining that school closures will be ordered if API readings exceed 200.
