Punjab Government is considering to extend the summer vacation for schools across the province due to surge in coronavirus cases across the country.
According to sources, it is possible that educational authorities may postpone examinations while promoting ninth and eleventh grade students without exams.
The decisions regarding the matter will be taken at the next meeting of the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) which will be attended by Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mehmood.
