There has been some confusion regarding the closure of schools across Punjab due to PTI’s announced protest. The Punjab Education Minister has issued a clarification, stating that schools and colleges will remain closed only in Islamabad, Lahore, and Rawalpindi. Educational institutions in all other districts of Punjab will remain open as usual.
Earlier reports suggesting the closure of schools across the entire province were unverified. The official notification applies strictly to the three districts mentioned above, where security concerns are higher due to potential disruptions caused by the protest.
The government has assured parents in other districts of Punjab that all necessary measures have been taken to maintain safety, and there is no reason to suspend educational activities in those areas.
Parents and students are advised to follow updates from their respective district administrations and official sources to avoid any misinformation regarding school closures.
