All primary and secondary schools to reopen on September 28

All classes, both primary and secondary, at schools across Sindh will resume from September 28, Sindh Education Minister Saeed Ghani said in a media briefing on Friday.

According to the details, Saeed Ghani said that all pre-primary, primary, and secondary classes will be resumed from September 28.

He said that the parents and school administrations must ensure the implementation of health protocols devised to curb the spread of rhe novel coronavirus.

He explained that there had been no disruption as such in the reopening of schools and that it was only the second phase of reopening that had been delayed by only a week.

Ghani said that the schools that were sealed were due to two reasons:

if a coronavirus case was found in school staff, or if small children had been asked to rejoin at a time when permission by the government had not been granted.

“Now as we resume the reopening of schools, Sindh has decided that very strict enforcement of safety measures will be ensured,” he warned.
