TEMPO.CO , Jakarta - Air filters will be installed in 170 thousand classrooms in nine provinces in Sumatera and Kalimantan susceptible to haze caused by forest fire.
"These air filters will be installed in each classroom to protect it from haze so that studying activity won't be hampered," said Education and Culture Minister Anis Baswedan on Friday, October 30, 2015.
Each air filter costs around Rp. 200,000 to Rp. 300,000 per unit. Not only air filters, the government will also installs air conditioner and plant new plants to reduce air pollution.
According to Anis, this method has been implemented in West Sumatra. Before it was implemented, the air pollution standard index was recorded at a level of 240. "Eventually [the air] could be filtered, [the pollution index] was lowered to 70," Anis stated.
