Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mahmood has said that the schools will be closed on November 26 and reopened on January 11. The situation will be reviewed before the schools reopen.
Speaking on a private TV program, Shafqat Mehmood said that closing down educational institutions is a difficult decision for any education minister. We can't risk children's health, we've made a very difficult decision.
He said that from November 26, the educational institutions will be technically open, but the children will not come. From December 25, there will be winter vacations. We will call and review the situation.
