The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Elementary and Secondary Education Department has ordered that students be moved immediately from dilapidated and dangerous school buildings, and from unsafe sections of schools, to safer locations.
In a letter issued to all District Education Officers, the department directed that students in unsafe buildings be shifted at once to secure classrooms. According to the instructions, they should be accommodated in safe sections of the same school or in nearby government schools.
Alternative arrangements for affected students
If government facilities are unavailable, rented buildings may be arranged so that education continues. The department clarified that only unsafe portions and rooms would be vacated and sealed, rather than entire buildings.
Buildings identified by technical experts
The letter stated that the dangerous buildings and sections were identified by the Communication and Works Department and technical experts. All District Education Officers have been told to take immediate measures to protect students and prevent any disruption to their learning.
