The Capital Administration and Development Division (CADD) on Friday
announced that 32 schools would reopen on September 1 after the police vacate
them.
Thousands of security personnel had been called in from other cities mainly from
Azad Kashmir to quell any violent demonstration by the activists of Pakistan
Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) who have been staging
sit-ins for the last three weeks.
They had been accommodated in some 60 government schools, but now the capital
administration has somehow gotten 32 educational institutions vacated.
In a press release, CADD said that out of the 60 federal government and model
schools, 32 had been vacated by the police and they would reopen on September 1
after extended summer vacation.
CADD also plans to shift students of those schools which are still under police
occupation to institutions which are going to reopen next week. However, it did
not elaborate the plan.
“It is just a proposal as so far we have not finalised a strategy on how to
accommodate thousands of students in the schools and colleges reopening next
week,” said an official in CADD.
The official explained that the Capital Administration and Development Division
had told the interior ministry that parents and teachers were concerned about
the loss students were suffering during the last 20 days.
