Educational institutions of public and private sector in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are reopening from today (Monday) for preparations of 10th and 12th grade upcoming examinations.

The decision was taken in the National Command and Operation Centre on last Saturday, allowing the provinces to reopen the colleges in districts where the ratio of positive cases is below eight percent.

However, educational institutions in two districts of Punjab, including Rahim Yar Khan and Khanewal will remain closed until further orders due to COVID-19 positive cases.

All educational institutions have been directed to follow the SOPs and necessary instructions.
