As Government has announced to reopen schools from September 15, not all classes are expected to come to schools from the same date. Punjab Education Minister Murad Rass has said that children of class 5 to 10 will come to school from September 15, while the children of class 1 to fourth class will attend their classes from January.
Half of the children will come to schools one day and half the next day. He told the media that private schools have been asked for written suggestions on SOPs by August 25. From September 15, children in classes five to ten will be able to come to school.
Private schools have their own agenda, the government is looking at everything related to Covid-19. He said that no teacher or child will be allowed to come to school without a mask. Any child or teacher who has a cough or flu symptom will not be allowed to come to school. "I am trying to open schools in two shifts. There are two options. One is to have two shifts in schools in the morning and in the afternoon," he said. In addition, there is an option that half of the classes in the school come for three days and then half of the classes for three days.
Classes for first to fourth graders are likely to start in January. Earlier, Punjab Education Minister Murad Raas said that contrary to the government's decision, all private educational institutions that will open schools before September 15 will be sealed. The government has decided that schools will be opened on September 15 after the implementation of all SOPs.
