Quashing a Govt. orders that restricts all institutions to remain close till 5 April few of the institution in Lahore are still open and out of the radar where teachers are directed to attend the school operations, learnt by Qalam Club

it seems like such institutions owners of the private schools are reluctant to follow the directives having fear of losing new admissions, as this is the ongoing seasons for schools to start new sessions, some of them are in the process to announce the final exams result, said by, ‘Mussrat Afza (Educationist)’

While talking on this concern one of the private school teacher explained, we are thankful to the govt. for taking such measures in time to save the students but there is chaos between teachers is prevailing what should they do? if they won’t show their presence they might lose their jobs, registering complaint would create an issues for them too

Last week on 13th of March Minister Education Murad Raas tweeted his concern by tweeting that ‘Due to the Pandemic Coronavirus schools in Punjab will be closed starting Saturday march 14th to April 5, 2020. Health of our children & honourable Teachers are priority number one. at the end of the day it’s better to be safe than sorry

While talking to Qalam Club Deputy DO Schools Cantt said we have vacated the school on the information yesterday, where few staff members were present in the school and directed them not to do such practice till 5th of april 2020
if we will find any violation police force will be used against the responsible, he added

it is pertinent to mention here that Last week CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Faisalabad issued notice when one of the school remained open in spite of clear orders by govt. on closing the public and private schools in Punjab pertaining to precautionary measures, according to the notice Deputy Commissioner Faisalabad took serious notice of violation government/ departmental orders and desire that the services of principal govt. girls school Gulistan colony Faisalabad may kindly be placed under suspension and disciplinary proceedings under PEEDA act, 2006 may be initiated against her on the charge of misconduct/ violation of departmental orders.

However there few private schools not in radar of authorities and remain open for teachers and staff, .learnt by Qalam Club
