Overview
- The Elementary and Secondary Education Department ordered teaching to stop in any school building declared dilapidated or dangerous and said classes may resume only after technical certification.
- Officials began verifying complaints and videos from media and social platforms that surfaced after the Peshawar roof-collapse reports, with district education officers tasked to confirm risks.
- Communication and Works engineers have been asked to carry out structural surveys and the Planning Wing will prioritise and coordinate repairs with technical institutions.
- School heads must arrange nearby alternative facilities for displaced students and keep records of complaints, inspections, risk assessments and actions taken.
- The notification did not state how many schools are affected, leaving officials to balance rapid inspections and repairs with the challenge of finding enough safe temporary spaces for students.
