Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat said on Monday that schools across the province would reopen beginning April 1.
In a statement, the education minister said that the notification — widely being circulated on social media — about the schools remaining open for four days was fake.
“Educational institutions will remain open five days a week,” the education minister said, adding that the classes would be in-person and ruled out a hybrid mode of education.
“We cannot shift towards online classes; come to school and study,” he told students, explaining that universities, colleges, and schools would all function for five days.
This is a developing story and is being updated with more details.
