KP Clarifies School Closures During Long March

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Education Department has announced that schools in the province may observe a one-day closure if the PTI long march causes road blockages that hinder students and staff from reaching their destinations. The department emphasized that all government schools are currently operational as planned. However, individual school administrations have been granted the authority to halt classes for a day should they perceive road closures as a threat to the safe transportation of students and faculty.

This clarification follows the decision of several private schools in Peshawar to remain closed on Thursday, anticipating the arrival of PTI’s long march. Reports indicate that these private school administrations opted for closure to prevent potential travel complications for students and staff caused by obstructed roads. Parents were notified of the closures via messages distributed through school WhatsApp groups.

The decision was deemed precautionary by the school administrations, as they believed that road blockages during the long march could impede students and staff from commuting to and from their educational institutions.
