Private schools open on saturdays too
Karachi, Jan 09, 2008: In view of continuous closure of educational institutions owing to various
incidents, most of the private schools have issued an internal circulation that
for the rest of the academic session schools will open on Saturdays too.
The decision to open schools on Saturdays was taken to complete the
remaining syllabus which was badly affected due to these incidents. Furthermore,
the Met forecast for heavy rain has also forced officials of the private
institutions to keep schools open on Saturdays.
The provincial Education
Department is reportedly reviewing to adopt a uniform policy for both public and
private sector educational institutions under which schools will function six
days a week.
Private school managements have decided to open their
schools on Saturdays from now onwards. However, prestigious private schools,
which have their own policies, will remain off on Saturdays, as according to
administrators concerned their schools did not remain closed due to disturbances
in the city, so there was no lacking to complete syllabus on time. The News
