KUALA LUMPUR: The Education Ministry will decide on the need to close schools if the extreme heat continues after the end of the first term holidays this week, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The existing procedures gave school heads the authority to cancel outdoor activities if the conditions warranted it, he added.
