In a recent announcement, CEO Pervaiz Akhtar of the Lahore District Education Authority shared important updates regarding the educational activities in Punjab's capital. According to the statement, schools within the district will not be permitted to organize summer camps or conduct examinations this year.
This decision aims to ensure the safety and well-being of students and maintain a conducive learning environment during the summer break.
To ensure the effective implementation of these directives, the district education authority has established committees at the tehsil and center levels. These committees consist of three district education officers (DEOs), 12 deputy DEOs, and 50 assistant education officers (AEOs).
By forming these teams, the education authority seeks to enhance monitoring and reporting mechanisms, enabling swift action to be taken against any violations.
CEO Pervaiz Akhtar emphasized the importance of complying with the guidelines set by the Punjab School Education Department. The teams formed will submit daily reports, providing valuable insights into the progress and adherence to the established regulations.
A key aspect of these measures is the prohibition of any form of exams during the holiday period. CEO Pervaiz Akhtar stressed that the visiting teams, assigned to different areas within the Lahore district, will be vigilant in identifying and addressing any violations of this order. Strict actions will be taken against any schools or individuals found conducting exams in defiance of the directive.
By implementing these stringent measures, the education authority aims to maintain a stress-free and relaxed environment for students during the summer break. This allows them to recuperate and recharge before the start of the new academic year.
In addition to the ban on examinations, CEO Pervaiz Akhtar highlighted that all types of curricular and extra-curricular activities in schools will be prohibited during the holiday period.
This decision intends to ensure that students have ample time to relax, engage in recreational activities, and spend quality time with their families. By offering a break from academic responsibilities, students can rejuvenate themselves and return to school with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
CEO Pervaiz Akhtar also announced the establishment of a complaint cell at the CEO's Education Office, catering to the concerns and grievances of parents. This initiative demonstrates the authority's commitment to addressing any issues that may arise and providing a platform for parents to voice their concerns.
The complaint cell will serve as a mechanism for resolving complaints promptly and efficiently, promoting transparency and accountability within the education system.
