LAHORE: The academic year for schools in Punjab may be extended because of the two long closures of educational institutions amid the coronavirus pandemic.
This was said by Punjab Schools Education Minister Dr Murad Raas Friday.
A final decision on the reopening of schools, he said, will be taken in the first week of January 2021. The Inter Provincial Education Ministers Conference last month had decided to shut all the educational institutes due to the worsening situation of the pandemic.
