Federal Education Minister, Shafqat Mahmood, has added to the uncertainty looming around the reopening of educational institutes from January 11, 2021.
Speaking in a TV show on Friday, Mahmood said that the opening of schools on the given date is unlikely due to the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
While admitting that the schools’ closure has impacted students’ education, Mahmood maintained that they cannot risk children’s lives for the sake of education.
There is no denial to the fact that the education suffered a lot due to the COVID-19 lockdown, however, we managed to continue the education process through online classes.

He said that the new mutation of COVID-19 has entered Pakistan, and the situation is being closely monitored. Any decision on the resumption of on-campus classes will be made with the input of the Ministry of Health.
A meeting of inter-provincial education ministers has been convened on January 4 to review the situation, in which the officials of the health ministry will share their input. A decision on whether or not to reopen schools will be taken according to their advice.

For God sake do not destroy the future of Nations sons.Open schools and colleges. The leading countries of the world have not closed schools due to covid.Do not impose your idiotic policies on the nation for political purposes.Also think about the teachers of private sector whom you have put out of job

How about you impose stronger SOPs? Instead of jeopardizing people’s health and education, make precautions stricter. Why not find ways to make sure that students, staff members and teachers are following these more strict SOPs? Online school is taking away from proper learning
Life matters more
Please open the School kya corona sirf school ma hi jata ha Baki places ma to nai jata agr lockdown krna ha to complete kro or agr nai Krna to hamare School khol do hame prhna ha

School should not open at all as new Covid strain has been identified.
Life and health of children is more important than education.
Educational gap can be overcome, life can not be reversed.
Please don’t open schools /colleges because life is more precious than education
Schools should not be opened.As being a microbiologist i would like to say that this new covid strain is too much toxic for all us.specially for childrens.
I think lives matter most than education.
Indeed
O bhai pagal wagal to nai ho gaye huwy.. Manaa ky hmein nai hua filhal.. To kya ab hamary school bags me dalwa ky deina ka irada.. Koi nai kholny aram se kambalo me betho heater ky samney.. Bsdk!

Our kids teacher who was teaching in LGS died last week with covid 19 ..she urged us a lot 2 se d kids in her academy .she was of the view there is no covid 19 as well as dangerous for our health …..
….Then covid 19 told her how savage it was and she died .so plz don’t b selfish …………………….
Koi Bankers ko b Leaves day do hum b to insan hen idr hi to public zyada ati h..subah 9 se sham 8 bje ghr ate hn…Government should take action about Bankers.
You working in banks are much safe as you wear masks and sanitise frquently and no customer is allowed to enter without wearing mask and guard at entrance gate shoot at hands with sanitiser and checks the temperature and social distancing is maintained strictly inside bank so no risk at all.If you persist even then for vacations then you must be among those lazy fellows who keep the work pending during month of Ramazan with an excuse of having Fast which Islam strictly condemns.
Nhi kya ap chahty ho ky Corona ho jaye humein…Khud tu aram sy ghr behthy ho humari zindagi kharab krni ha bss ajeebbbbb

Es qoum ko tanqeed k sewa ata he kia hai
Its very unfortunate that we cannot elect those people who can lead rather we elect these clowns who have been imposed on us. This govt decisions are all make shift and there is no systemic apch to the problem. They convene conferences and whatever brain waves they have they implement them. These buffoons must see the ground realities of Pakistan rather just copying western countries.
Malik SB dont politicise this universal pandemic which is a reality and don’t try to make it a Patvari or Tiger brawl it must be curtailed only by following SOPs advised by WHO and present govt of Imran Khan has been globally admired for it’s wise step taken as Smart Lock Down for combatting this pandemic and Pakistan still is at much safer side as compared to developed countries like USA and England where in routine death toll is in hundreds and its pertinent to mention here that Britian is paying the price of harbouring a CV(Corruption Virus)from Pakistan in London that Allah’s Wrath has tolled upon them in the form of a new varion of the CV(Corona Virus) so if they want to make them safe they must extradite that PK Money Launderer Nawaz (PMLN).
Donot reopen schools because life is more precious than education✔️
Govt has taken right step because lives of students and their teachers as well are more important as life is more precious and parents couldn’t afford education at the risk of their children.In USA England and major European countries schools colleges and universities are closed due to this menace and whoever says it’s not so he is a ZOMBIE.
