sindh schools saeed ghani

KARACHI: All private and government schools across Sindh will close for two weeks from April 6, Education Minister Saeed Ghani announced on Sunday.

“In light of the Covid-19 situation, we have decided to suspend physical classes for grades one to eight at all government and private schools across the province for fifteen days from April 6 (Tuesday),” he tweeted.

However, he added, classes can continue through other means, including online.

Earlier, the minister had made it clear that schools across the province will remain open except those located in areas put under a smart lockdown due to rising number of Covid-19 cases.

Reacting to Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mahmood’s announcement to keep educational institutions in Covid-19 hotspots closed, Saeed Ghani said the number of infections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) has risen, due to which the decision to close institutes in districts where the positivity rate is high was made.

“Thankfully, the coronavirus situation in Sindh is under control and the number of patients is relatively fewer than that in Punjab and KP,” Ghani said.
