Education Ministry Extends MOEIS Marks Entry Deadlines Amid Haze Disruptions

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 19 – The Ministry of Education (MOE) has officially extended the submission deadlines for several major school assessment marks within the Integrated Education Management System (MOEIS) following widespread academic disruptions caused by persistent haze across multiple states.

In an official statement released from Putrajaya on Monday morning, October 19, 2026, the ministry confirmed that the extensions aim to alleviate operational pressures on educators and provide schools with sufficient flexibility to reschedule affected examinations.

The directive comes as schools across Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Pahang, and Penang resume physical operations while managing outdoor activity suspensions and postponed internal assessments due to air quality fluctuations.

“With this extension, it is hoped that students, teachers, parents and guardians will find it easier to enter marks into the ministry’s MOEIS system,” the ministry stated.

Revised Assessment Deadlines, Affected Examinations, and MOEIS Integration

The ministry detailed specific one-week extensions across core academic and co-curricular evaluation modules:

• Academic Assessments (UASA & PAT/PASA): The final deadline for teachers to input marks for the End-of-Academic-Session Assessment (UASA) and End-of-Academic-Session Examinations (PAT/PASA) has been extended from November 21 to November 28, 2026.
• Co-curricular Assessment (PAJSK): The mark entry deadline for the Physical, Sports and Co-curricular Assessment (PAJSK) has been moved back from November 30 to December 5, 2026.
• Relief for School Administrators: The extended timeline accommodates state-level directives, such as Negeri Sembilan’s immediate postponement of UASA papers during peak haze periods.
• System Operations: The extension ensures that MOEIS servers remain fully accessible without administrative bottlenecks as schools reorganize testing calendars.

MOE reaffirmed that it will continue monitoring nationwide Air Pollutant Index (API) readings alongside environmental and health authorities to determine if further adjustments to the academic calendar are necessary.
