Schools and colleges in Islamabad have resumed operations after a three-week closure to make way for police personnel ahead of a planned protest by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). The Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) issued closing instructions on Sunday night, allowing most of the 38 affected institutions to resume classes.
However, approximately 10 schools and colleges will remain closed as police remain stationed on their premises. A school principal expressed frustration over the late announcement, stating that it made informing students and teachers challenging. Attendance is anticipated to improve by Tuesday. The closures commenced on September 24 when authorities began housing police personnel in educational institutions ahead of PTI’s scheduled rally.
The disruption has drawn criticism from parents and teachers who expressed concern over students missing valuable classroom time. H-9 College, which recently achieved its first-ever spot in the Federal Board examinations, also faced closure. A faculty member at the college expressed worry that the extended absence could impact its academic progress.
