Kendari City Government implements distance learning for schools due to the impact of forest and land fire haze.

The Kendari City Government in Southeast Sulawesi has implemented a remote learning system (PJJ) for all schools, ranging from early childhood education (PAUD) to higher levels. This policy is a direct response to the hazardous air quality caused by smoke from forest and land fires (karhutla) affecting the region.

The remote learning measures are scheduled to remain in effect until October 23. The decision aims to protect students from the health risks associated with the ongoing haze and poor air quality resulting from the fires.
