  "account": "The School Education Department in Punjab has mandated a complete verification of student enrollment data across all government schools, including those in Lahore. This measure aims to prevent the registration of bogus enrolments. School administrators are instructed to update the most recent enrollment records on the online portal. Head teachers will verify individual student names from pre-primary to class eight, while class nine students' records will also be updated and verified on a name-by-name basis. Schools are further required to categorize class nine students into science, arts, and matric tech groups individually. The department has specified that enrolment data for both Urdu-medium and English-medium students should be submitted separately. The verification and certification process must be completed within three days. Chief Education Officers have been given the responsibility of ensuring 100 percent of school data is collected and verified. They are also directed to assess the surplus stock of free textbooks available. The number of free textbooks required for the 2027-28 academic session will be determined based on the newly verified enrollment data. The School Education Department has set a deadline of September 8, 2026, for completing school enrollment data and records of surplus free textbooks. A special online portal has been launched to rectify any errors or omissions in the enrollment data.",
