He said that educational institutions would be opened as soon as the situation improves. Shafqat Mehmood said in a Twitter message that children have a deep connection with education, in any case opening premature educational institutions will not endanger the lives of children.
Given the current high rate of corona infections and sadly deaths, it was the right decision to close educational institutions. Students should rest assured that the moment things get better all institutions will open. I am greatly concerned about their education

On the other hand, the government's decision to close an educational institution is being appreciated in view of the increase in cases of the deadly virus during the second wave of corona epidemic in the country.
It may be recalled that the Private Schools Association had announced the opening of educational institutions across the country from January 11. An emergency meeting of the Private Schools Association was held yesterday in which the officials agreed that schools across the country would be reopened from January 11. In this regard, whether the government announces anything or not, the private educational institutions will reopen on January 11. However, the strategy in this regard will be decided later.
It should be noted that in view of the deteriorating situation in Corona, the closure of educational institutions across the country was announced. It was decided in the meeting by the Federal Ministry of Education that there would be winter holidays from December 25 to January 10 and children would not come to the educational institutions. The children would continue their education at home. On January 11, all educational institutions reopened. Shafqat Mehmood had further said that home learning would continue from November 26 to December 24. From November 26, online classes can be taken from all educational institutions in Pakistan. Schools, colleges, universities, tuition centers will all be closed.
