The Punjab Education Department has mandated that private schools must provide free education to 10 percent of their students, focusing on children from low-income families, those in need, and children with special needs.
To enforce this, the department is reactivating the Private Schools Ordinance 2014 and has instructed education officers to ensure compliance.
The Ministry of Education is also gathering lists of students who will receive free education, with private schools required to submit admission details. This survey is expected to be completed by August 31, following the summer break.
Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat emphasized that private schools will be held accountable for meeting this requirement. He also announced that Punjab is preparing to open its first autism schools dedicated to children with special needs.
