LAHORE: The Private Schools Association has urged authorities to reconsider the decision to extend school holidays until March 31, citing concerns over academic disruption.
The association said that around 80 percent of students in the country travel to school without using transport, which makes extended closures more difficult for families.
Association leader Abrar Ahmed Khan suggested that students who rely on transport could be shifted to online classes during this period to minimise disruption.He added that students in Punjab have already received less than 124 days of academic instruction in the current session, raising concerns about learning loss.
The association further noted that matriculation exams in Punjab are scheduled to begin on March 28 and called for the exams to be cancelled and a new schedule to be announced to address the academic gap.
