Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat has issued a stern warning to schools violating government guidelines for summer camps after reports that some public and private institutions failed to follow official directives.
The minister has directed all district education authorities to increase monitoring and ensure strict implementation of the government’s summer camp regulations.
Rana Sikandar Hayat said schools are allowed to hold summer camps for only one month. Under the approved schedule, summer camps may run from Monday to Thursday between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.
He also made it clear that student participation in summer camps must be completely voluntary and based on parental consent. Schools are not allowed to force students to attend under any circumstances.
The minister urged parents to report any violations of the approved timings or other government instructions.
He further directed district education authorities to conduct field inspections and actively monitor schools to ensure compliance.
