Closing educational institutions
Once again, closure of educational institutions all over Pakistan has become chaos for the federal government to make the right decision.
Owing to COVID-19, for the last eight months educational institutions were off; therefore, the education system is badly affected and disturbed. Exams will nearly be conducted. Consequently, teachers and students need more time to successfully complete the course. Educational institutions were reopened only three months ago; thus, it would be tough for them to have a course completed. Apart from this, online classes are, next to nothing, will badly affect the education system especially in those areas where availability of the internet is a daydream. So, there is no need to close educational institutions in the current situations.
Beside this, Federal Minister Shafqat Mehmood said,” Efforts are being made to improve the quality of education”. Further, he said, “The closure of educational institutions has caused great damage. Currently, it is not the right time to close schools”.
He further added that the advisory of the ministry of health was their priority and that education would continue until advised.
Thus, I would like to request the federal government of Pakistan, not to close the educational institutions, rather facilitate the institutions to strictly follow the SOPs and continue the education.
