SINGAPORE - Schools will reopen on Monday (Sept 16) after the one-week school holiday, but are ready to respond and take appropriate haze management measures, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said on Sunday.
The air quality improved slightly on Sunday evening, with the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) reading dipping to between 99 in the east and 107 in the south of Singapore at 6pm, down from the 8am reading of between 107 in the east and 124 in the west.
The MOE added that the well-being of students remains a priority, and that all classrooms of primary and secondary schools, MOE kindergartens and special education schools have been equipped with air purifiers. The schools have had these on hand since the last bad haze in 2015 for such situations.
