The Punjab government has announced to establish the Punjab Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Authority (PPEIRA) to regulate the affairs of private schools and colleges in the province.
As a protest against the announcement, the President of the All Pakistan Private Schools and Colleges Association (APPSCA), Malik Ibrar Hussain, has threatened to shut down private schools and colleges in the province.
According to the details, PPEIRA will be led by the Education Minister as its chairman. The authority will consist of 11 members including MPAs.
PPEIRA will have its sub-committees in all districts of the province. The authority will regulate different affairs of private educational institutes, including registration, teachers’ salaries, teachers’ education, buildings, facilities, and fees.
Private educational institutes will be required to seek approval for every new campus separately from PPEIRA. It will also monitor and inspect private schools and colleges frequently. It will have access to the entire record of private educational institutes.
Private educational institutes will also face legal action in case of violation of PPEIRA’s rules. They will face a fine of up to Rs. 200,000 in case of violation of rules, up to Rs. 10 million for harassment, and up to Rs. 20 million for negligence. They will face a fine of Rs. 25,000 daily till the redressal of complaints.
PPEIRA will be empowered to seal schools and colleges, register FIR against their heads, punish the heads with up to one-year imprisonment, collect fines through the Land Revenue Act, and take over the control of schools and colleges.
Meanwhile, APPSCA President has claimed that the provincial government finalized the plans to establish PPEIRA without consulting relevant stakeholders, and has warned to shut down private educational institutes as a protest.
Good step by the government. This private school mafia is looting parents without providing even the basic necessities to their students. Shame on them!
The committee itself will be formed of corrupt goons. If they want it to be a good step remove MPAs from members. Its a way to control education business by the theifs.
I believe every country has such authority to regulate private education inßtitutions.
I have noticed in our country there was no control ànd supervision of private school earlier.government must have authority to keep watch on institution for betterment of education and well being of public.
It is good if our government is good
But if our government is international mafia,s not only education system are contry is in danger.
Long awaited action by punjab govt.we pray and wish the kpk govt to come forward and take action this private school promoting and supporting cheating in exame to compete with other institutions for position holder.Milllionare paid to become the chairman of the board to earn billion to five supervisory staff cooperating in the hall and help student cheat.we ask the UN ,WB,and Paris club to take action as these authorities are corrupt themselves they will not awake action.
Apni nalaiqi chupany k liye dosron ko blame krna chor dain hazrat
A commendable step.we know very well about the atrocities of this mafia.improper facilities,high fees,meagre salaries to staff,harassment of female staff,lack of playgrounds and extra curriculum activities etc are some malpractices of these people.
Government shouldn’t be Blackmailed by these mafias let them close the schools how long they can close !
What about our studies results are upcoming and any offs will make it difficult for us to complete our syllabus everyone just thinks of themselves it’s US students who will suffer In the end
Very good initiative by the government…there should be a check n balance on them as they are literally looting parents in the name of fee….
Koi zor zabardasti admission k liye le k jata hai ap k bachon ko? If you think you’re being exploited then back off. Govt schools main dal le aur government k achay initiatives ko enjoy karen wahan
Nice

Good initiative, if implement with true spirit then this will be a great support to parents, even teachers who worked there, moreover provide good check and balance against this Mafia,
I didn’t understand what they said can you explain me ?
Aik article parh kr itnay faislay kr liya ap ne k initiative b good hai aur sb chor pakray jayen gy aur phool hi phool hon gy har tarf. Danaai to khatam hai ap per.
a well waited initiative the govt which needs to be implemented despite threats by private school as as they think they can make a break the law and nobody can stand in their way and as a results parents struggle to pay high fees so they can give their children the best education ..money making needs to stop
Falahi idaray nhi hain private schools. Money making k liye hi bnatay hain log.
Well waited kya hota hai
Tumhain merchi lgi bro
Absolutely do it. Once regulated then will get peace of mind forever In Sha Allah for worthy parents. Pakistan has 3 businesses at peak without Audit and taxation at all respectively;
Health, education and judiciary.
Health aur education main audit aur tax nhi hai??? Bhai kya piya hai subha ??
Aur unworthy parents konsay hain hazrat?
A long awaited decision by the government of Punjab for the parents who are affectees of this educational mafia, the private schools, having no check and balance upon them, totally independant to loot masses in shape of extra ordinary high fees and other dues imposed.
Government must not take any pressure or accept any blackmailing by these mafias and bring them under some regulatory authority and keep a strict check and balance upon these looters.
Govt must improve their own education facilities first. That’s the biggest elephant in the room. This committee is gonna fall on its face like so many others. But mummy daddies ko bas inqalab aur anarchy chahye
Good approach for govt. Private become mafia, they need to strict checj and balance to save parents pocket..
Apni jaib per moti zip lagwa len aur bachay government school main dal len
Very good initiative by the government, Good work keep it up
A very good comment by ahsan sb with no research at all. Good work keep it up
Good,plz do it quickly
Good step
One small step for a man but a giant leap for mankind.
Kar do shutdown. Badmasho ka tola
As if APPSCA finalized anything related to children by consulting parents before hand? Finally, a very good step to tie a cord around their neck, they had been flying high totally unleashed.
Punjab Government should also make a rule that whichever branch actually closes the campus, those should be sealed and penalized heavily for not complying with the government.
100 kooray b maren sath main.
Bhai sb we’ve already tried nationalisation and centralizing control and failed miserably but ap ko to khud hi kr k dekhna hai sb kuch shuro se.
Good it’s a good step especially for staff members..private school or colleges takes too much fees from students but not give salary according the status of teachers also takes too much effort from teachers..
I can agree with this one
Very good initiative from punjab government my issues little different there is no check & balance on students there is all others bad activities have done except education school head and other teachers doing nothing they just want any child can take admission there is no critaria for admission our new generation destroying there characters very bad condition in all private schools openly smoking ,vaping ,bad language,love affairs even school bathrooms are not safe girl and boys both doing all these things i request to punjab government work on it also ,it is bigger issue from fee how stop these problems and make some rules ,check and balance on school head and teachers what they give our new nation they should be realised there duties thanks
Good initiative, if implement with true spirit then this will be a great support to parents, even teachers who worked there, moreover provide good check and balance against this Mafia

Yes,bt every school is not looting,if they are looting,why not parents go to govt schools,govt cant give facilities to all the students,they even cant provide basic necessities like classrooms,there are above 100 students upon one teacher,who cant see or check their class work or HW properly,they are burdonised as well.This topic needs a debate which needs so much time for discussion ,private schools r giving education & training & also contributing much more in the field of education,if not why parents are rushing in these institutions ,because they are not coming to your homes to admitt your child in their institutions,if you r not satisfied,you should take out your child from that institution,that will b the best solution of your problem.
That’s the reply you get from a well experienced person who doesn’t goes with his/her emotions but actually goes to seek facts from the depth of that situation.
Cameray wala phone aur sheshay k samnay photo. Naswani naam walay comments ko upvote. Bhai kitnay desparate ho… Ye farhat bibi nhi imran farhat hai hahaha
Imran bhai, i agree with you too. Ap love hain. Lagay raho
A disgusting and very poor decision.
It will increase govt. Budget only. The same task must be regularised by the existing education Department. Otherwise more doors of bribery will be opened. All the consequences will bear only the parents.
Eww so disgusting
It’s a very good decision because many institutes grabbing these funds, payments in the name of fee charges.
Ap ne b laptop aur mobile k funds parhai wagera ka keh kr liye hon gy. And look where u are now…. Afsos
Well I would say too little too late. First we allow everything in this country go unregulated and when we try to regulate them it’s too late, because by then they have evolved as a Mafia. Instead of them going on strike the government should register FIRs against those who are vocal on this proactively.
Ohh my sweet little anarchist…
This is a very good decision. Such rules and regulations must be implemented as soon as possible
Please let them shut down… Those who comply to the rules can re open their schools & colleges…… Those who don’t, must remain shut till they comply.
Thanks Allah. someone has at least thinking about it…. May Allah help them to implement it soon possible. Aamin
یہ اقدام بہت پہلے ہو جانا چاہئیے تھا۔ پرائیویٹ سکولز سسٹمز نے لوٹ مار کا بازار گرم کر رکھا ہے ۔ جبکہ اساتذہ بہت کم تنخواہوں پر رکھے جاتے ہیں۔جس کے نتیجے میں استاد نہ توجہ سے پڑھاتے ہیں نہ کسی ایک سکول میں ٹکتے ہیں۔ اسکے علاوہ سکولز میں سہولیات کا فقدان ہے۔ بچوں کے بیٹھنے کی جگہ مناسب نہیں۔کمروں میں روشنی کم۔ سپورٹس کیلئے کوئی جگہ نہیں۔ کیمپس کی کپسٹی سے ذیادہ تعداد۔
اور فیسیں ہر سال خاموشی سے بڑھا لی جاتی ہیں۔ ان سب چیزوں کا تدارک انتہائی ضروری ہے۔
plz Do something for Karachi also
please mention source.
اسلام علیکم پرائیویٹ سکول 8 کلاس تک 3سے 4 کتابیں ہونی چاہیئے اور کاپی جو مارکیٹ سے مل رہی ہے وہی چلنی چاہئے اپنے سکول لا لوگو لگا کر 100 روپے بڑھا کر لوگوں کو لوٹ رہے ہیں اور آئے دن کوئی نہ کوئی ڈے منانے کے لیے بچوں سے روپے اکٹھے کر رہے ہوتے ہیں
اور ٹیچرز اپنے بچوں کو فرسٹ ڈویژن پاس کرکے انعامات دے رہے ہیں باقی بچوں کو 1,2 نمبر کم کرکے احساس کمتری کا شکار بنا رہے ہیں
Not a good decision, no one force anyone to put ones child in a particular school you have your choice govt. Schools are available and secondly more corruption doors will be open.
It’s good to have an eye on private schools so the parents will not feel helpless for their issues.
Thing is,every govt created body works inefficienctly, and at the end of the day contributes to nothing,it is only a body that takes bribes in every step,nd so no improvement happens ,rather more problems arise.These bribes when taken from school bodies will eventually be from pockets of parents.Govt needs to make such bodies transparent open flexible nd helpful,rather than being a corruption mafia itself ,what can be forseen as school mafia vs tha govt mafia
Instead of exercising authority on private schools, government should improve public schools. Literacy rate is 50%. Almost half of Pakistan doesn’t know how to read and write and the gov is getting away with it. Ministers should be jailed for it.
Parents, instead of demanding quality education from the government, are brainwashed to think negative about the private schools.
Good initiative by Punjab government
I think this is a step in the right direction on behalf of the Government.As these private Schools and Colleges are looting Parents.
Umm please go for Government schools then…why aren’t you?
Good move, masha Allah
You need to do it in Islamabad too ,private schools are the mafia over charging and bad Education especially City School Beacon house .
PPEIRA means more bearucrates will be benefited and their kids will enjoy free meal. Mafia has lots to offer to avoid regulations. Ironically hahahaha
Heheheheheh
Heheheheheheh
It is necessary for circulation of money. More departments, more bribe. Well done. I don’t understand why always need thiefs to look after thiefs. We have HED and DPI for registration of private schools and colleges. HEC, PU…. Why need more departments? If existing are not doing well, work on them to improve their performance. Govt can give these powers to existing departments. Allah he Hafiz hai sab ka.
