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 More here: https://cna.asia/4zAlAPK Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
