Punjab rolls out new school rules
A key session of sector learning representatives regarding improvements in teaching and academic standards for the 2026-27 academic assembly session concluded on Thursday with the endorsement of a comprehensive set of administrative and academic measures across Punjab.
Under decisions taken at the session, all province institutions will be required to raise donations to meet operational expenses and establish a "Zakat Bank" to backing deserving learners and school needs. Institutions will also display donor boards listing contributors.
The session approved 34 key points, including protection arrangements, new admissions, annual examinations and operational standard operating procedures (SOPs) for institutions.
The assembly session was attended by the Chief Executive Officer (Learning), Sector Learning Officers (DEOs) and Deputy Sector Learning Officers (DDEOs).
Representatives directed that school protection must be maintained at all times. Guards or gatekeepers must remain present at the gate throughout school hours, and metal detectors must be functional.
Institutions have also been instructed to establish book banks, where excess textbooks from various classes will be collected and managed by a designated teacher acting as the Book Bank In-charge.
