ISLAMABAD: On-campus classes for grades from nursery to eighth at all private and government schools in Covid-19 affected cities will remain suspended until April 28, Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mahmood announced on Tuesday.

After presiding over a gathering of health and education ministries at the National Leadership and Operation Headquarters (NCOC), he addressed the media and said that kids in grades 9 through 12 would need to report to school.

We will reevaluate the Covid situation on April 28 and make a decision about whether to keep schools closed until Eid, the minister stated. In order to give pupils time to study for their board examinations, he announced that lessons for grades nine through twelve, which had been postponed in Covid-19 hotspots, will resume on April 19.

He said that the tests for classes nine through twelve will begin in the third week of May, following Eid, and estimated that 4 million youngsters will take part in them. O-level examinations will also take place on time.

Universities in the impacted districts will continue to be closed, according to Shafqat Mahmood.
