MOE orders schools to cancel June activities amid haze
The Ministry of Education (MOE) on Friday told schools to cancel all school activities for the rest of the June vacation.
These activities include co-curricular activities and remedial classes that are being organised during school holidays, according to director of corporate communications for MOE, Han Liang Yuan.
These activities will be cancelled until 30 June when the school vacation ends.
The announcement made on its website came as Singapore’s three-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) hit a new all-time high of 401 also on Friday.
“Should the 24 hour-PSI level continue in the very unhealthy range over the next few days, MOE will take guidance from the Inter-Agency Haze Task Force on the need for further action,” it said.
