Public and Private sector schools in federal capital, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan resumed classes for sixth to eight grade on Wednesday in the second phase of the government’s reopening of educational institutions.

The educational institutions have been directed to ensure strict compliance to the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to avoid the spread of coronavirus. The students, teachers as well as the school administration are required to ensure social distancing and wear masks and regularly use the hand sanitizers.

The Sindh government has delayed resuming classes of sixth to eight grade by a week time to further review the COVID-19 situation.
