Preschools to remain open even if haze hits hazardous levels: Desmond Lee

Schools may move to home-based learning for younger students if the 24-hour PSI forecast reaches hazardous levels of 300 and above, said Minister for Education Desmond Lee on Friday (Oct 16).

Speaking at a press conference on Singapore’s haze situation, he added that MOE kindergartens and preschools would remain physically open for students without alternative care arrangements.

O-level examinations may also be rescheduled, while A-level examinations are less likely to be affected. Mr Lee also said schools will adjust activities based on air quality readings to protect students' health. #haze #sgnews #singaporechannel
