All schools in the country will reopen tomorrow as the haze condition and Air Pollutant Index (API) showed a marked improvement with readings not exceeding 250, said Education director-general Abd Ghafar Mahmud.

He said the Education Ministry found the situation in Klang and Petaling Jaya in Selangor and Manjung in Perak, which recorded readings exceeding 250 yesterday, had improved today.

Abd Ghafar said the API in other parts of the country had also improved.

"Following the prevailing conditions, all state Education directors have been informed that schools should start operations as normal tomorrow," he said in a statement today.

Abd Ghafar said the Education Ministry was continuously monitoring the haze and API to ensure the health of students was not at risk.
