Earlier all public and private educational institutions from secondary and above in Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) were reopened on June 07.

The schools, colleges and universities were asked to strictly implement the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) against Covid-19 to prevent the spread of deadly coronavirus.

It may be recalled that most of the educational institutions in Pakistan have been closed for the last one and a half years due to the COVID epidemic.
