The Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) has directed the closure of all schools operating on plots smaller than ten marlas.
According to the new policy, institutions running on undersized premises must either relocate to larger buildings or expand their existing facilities to meet the minimum land requirement.
School owners have been granted a two-month deadline, ending November 10, to comply. If expansion is not feasible, schools will need to shift to a new location and immediately notify PEF authorities. The foundation will then carry out inspections to verify compliance before granting formal approval.
Officials warned that schools failing to adhere to the directives will face legal consequences.

These schools have spoiled abut three generations of our country they are only money making machines ni character building in these schools,should b nationalized ,or closed immediate. Irony is that owners of these schools are mostly illiterate, but unfortunately govt doesn’t take any action against this crime

So, enroll them in big and expensive schools and make them rich. When it comes to studying, government schools have no standard and private schools have no worth. Let’s see where the literacy rate goes.
