KPK schools are opened for staff

On 6 August, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government agreed to open all educational institutions under the elementary and secondary education department (E&SED). The school will open only for administrative staff to ensure that standard operating procedures (SOPs) are enforced to protect children.

The E&SE department issued a notification in that regard on Wednesday. It said that with a maximum staff of 5, all primary public schools must open. 7 staff members are allowed for the middle schools, while the number of staff in secondary and higher secondary schools will not exceed 10.

Private schools will be allowed to operate with 30% of their entire staff, while private schools that are not offering online classes can work with ten staff members.

The only objective of opening the schools before the tentative date is to allow for SOP implementation arrangements. Any school that violates the SOPs will be sealed instantly with the action taken against the owner.
