Private schools in Lahore have refused to obey the orders of the Lahore High Court (LHC) and the School Education Department (SED).
Upon LHC order a notification was issued by the School Education Department to close schools three days a week due to prevalent smog in the city.
According to details, private schools in Lahore blew the order of holidays three days a week in the air.
Several schools in the city remained open on Friday after the private schools in Lahore had refused to comply with the orders of the High Court and the Education Department.
Schools were open on Raiwind Road including Chungi Amarsidhu, Nishtar Town, Gajumata, Kahna Nau and Soy Asal. Schools in other areas including the Madrassa-ul-Banat (under Dawat-e-Islami) were also opened. Some schools that have announced the closure on Friday and Saturday have extended the school timing by one hour from Monday-Thursday.
The School Education Department could not implement its own notification after which air pollution and smog in Lahore are likely to have harmful effects on the health of children.
