PESHAWAR: Despite strict directives of the government about reopening of the schools for on-campus learning from January 18 and 25, majority of the private schools in the suburban parts of the provincial capital and elsewhere in the province have been reopened for academic activities after a short winter recess.
The Elementary and Secondary School Department, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had issued a detailed notification regarding resumption of online and on-campus academic activities as well as reopening of educational institutions for staff.
The directives were being followed well in the public sector institutions. However, the private schools mostly in rural areas have been openly violating the directives.
