ISLAMABAD:
The National Association of Private Schools (NAPS) stated that the government is fully responsible for the educational loss of students due to the closure of schools on the pretext of rising novel coronavirus disease (Covid-19) cases.
NAPS President Chaudhry Obaidullah and Chairman Malik Imran said thousands of schools were shut down due to extended closure of educational institutions, also spurring a number of out-of-school children.
The officials called on the government to announce the immediate reopening of educational institutions amid strict implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs) otherwise they would be forced to launch a nationwide protest. They stated this at a function held at the campus of a private school in Kallar Kahar on Sunday.

Arguing that it is meeting students’ constitutional right to education, a large private school association has called upon private schools to reopen in-person classes starting March 1, despite edicts by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education (SEP) for schools to remain closed.
“We have the right to provide education according to the third article of the constitution, and no one will restrict those rights,” said Alfredo Villar, president of the National Association of Private Schools.
