Consensus reached: Schools in Punjab to open on Monday

LAHORE: The All-Pakistan Private Schools Federation announced that all the schools in Punjab will open from February 1 (tomorrow), after it reportedly reached a consensus with the government following a notification issued by the Punjab government to take back all FIRs registered against school administrations.
The announcement in this regard was made on Sunday evening following the hours-long deliberations between Punjab Education Minister Rana Mashhood and the members of All-Pakistan Private Schools Federation.

Mashood said all grievances of the private schools body had been addressed in the meeting, adding that cases registered against schools on the basis of inadequate security will be taken back. Later, a notification was also issued in this regard.

Last week on Tuesday, the government had announced closure of all public and private schools in Punjab from Jan 26 to 31. While the EDO Education had told Dawn the decision came due to “extreme cold weather,” sources in the education department said the government was not satisfied with many schools for their poor security arrangements.
