KUALA LUMPUR: Teachers in schools in areas with unhealthy Air Pollution Index (API 101-200) readings are advised to be more creative in implementing activities to replace co-curricular activities outside the classroom.

National Union of Teaching Profession secretary-general Fouzi Singon said schools need to think of alternatives that teachers and students can do to avoid being exposed to health risks due to the current haze.

As such, Fouzi suggested that schools re-apply activities that were carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic to safeguard the health of students. Meanwhile, Universiti Putra Malaysia Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences lecturer Associate Professor Dr Malina Osman also reminded schools located in unhealthy API areas not to organise outdoor activities.

“The haze that is happening now can cause respiratory problems, notably for children whose lung function and immune system are not mature enough,” she said.
