Environmental Education Now Mandatory in Lahore Schools

The Lahore High Court has made it compulsory for schools and colleges across the province to allocate one class period each week to teach students about the importance of protecting the environment and preserving plant life. This move aims to nurture a generation of environmentally aware individuals who are equipped to tackle urgent ecological issues.

The court’s decision comes in response to a hearing on the persistent smog crisis in Pakistan. Recognizing the pivotal role of education in promoting environmental consciousness, the court stressed the necessity of integrating environmental awareness into the school curriculum.

A member of the judicial commission has been assigned the responsibility of ensuring that the court’s directive is communicated to all educational institutions, with swift and thorough implementation. This initiative has the potential to reach millions of students, empowering them to be catalysts for positive environmental change.

The proactive stance taken by the court in addressing environmental issues and ensuring public safety during major sports events demonstrates its commitment to safeguarding the well-being of citizens. By prioritizing environmental education and fostering a culture of responsibility, the Lahore High Court is laying the groundwork for a more sustainable and secure future for everyone.
