LAHORE: In the wake of prevailing law and order vis-à-vis ongoing sit-ins, the Punjab government on Sunday announced closing all public and private educational institutions, including schools, colleges and universities, across the province on Monday (today) and Tuesday (tomorrow).
The notifications and necessary instructions in this regard have been issued by the respective departments. Owing to the abrupt closure of educational institutions, many schools, colleges and universities like Punjab University and Lahore College for Women University (LCWU) have postponed their ongoing examinations scheduled for November 27, and November 28, 2017, with instructions remaining part/s of the exams would be held as per schedule. The new dates of postponed exams would be announced later.
Also, the Specialised Healthcare and Medical Education Department announced that medical colleges in Punjab will remain closed on November 27 and 28, 2017.
The classes in medical universities in Punjab will also remain off during the next two days, said the spokesman for SHC&ME in a statement issued here on Sunday.
Our Karachi correspondent adds: Keeping in view the city?s law and order situation, the Sindh Education Department on Sunday directed public and private institutions to keep all academic activities suspended on Monday (today).
Moinuddin, the media coordinator for the provincial education minister, told The News that the minister had decided to keep all schools and colleges closed on Monday. He said the decision was just for Monday and any extension in the closure period would be decided on later. The education department?s decision was taken in light of the violence that erupted in the metropolis on Saturday after the federal government attempted to clear the sit-in being held by a religious party at the Faizabad Interchange in Islamabad.
Scores of people, including police personnel, were injured on Saturday and traffic flow was severely disrupted as supporters of the religious party, to express solidarity with those camped out in Islamabad, wreaked havoc in the provincial capital.
Representatives of three different private schools associations, Khalid Shah, Haider Ali and Sharaf uz Zaman Siddiqui, all confirmed to The News that they would follow the education department?s directives. They had earlier demanded that the education department announce a holiday owing to the unavailability of public transport.
Only KU to remain open
While most of the universities contacted by The News had decided to keep their respective institutions closed, the University of Karachi?s spokesperson said the varsity will remain open and all activities, including examinations, will be held as per schedule on Monday.
Akhtar Baloch, the vice chancellor of the Benazir Bhutto Shaheed University in Lyari, said the varsity will remain closed to keep its students, who come from various areas of the city, out of harm?s way.
Sindh Madressatul Islam University?s public relations officer, Mustafa Jatoi, also stated that the management had informed its students that all educational activities will remain suspended at the varsity. However, he said students who wished to submit their admission forms could do so at the university.
Among other varsities to remain closed on Monday are the Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology, the Allama Iqbal Open University, NED University, Dow University of Health Sciences, Jinnah University for Women, Sir Syed University, Dawood University of Engineering and Technology and Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of Law (Szabul).
