The third phase of the Maryam Nawaz School and Resource Centre for Autism in Punjab faces a two-month delay, causing concern among parents of children with special needs. Initially set to commence classes in September 2026, the academic session remains unresolved due to incomplete admissions.
The school, initiated under the leadership of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, commenced its first phase in September 2024 and second phase in September 2026, enrolling 70 children in each phase. Notably, Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) for students in the first two phases were finalized only recently, following a 10-month delay.
Currently, the admission process for the third phase is ongoing, with School Principal Dr. Asma Naheed stating that classes will commence shortly. Parents and stakeholders remain anxious as the delay extends the wait for critical educational support for children with autism in the region.
