The Government Girls Higher Secondary School in Mozang, Lahore, has been ruled unsafe, and 265 students have been ordered to move to a boys' school while the academic session is still under way. The move was announced by authorities and takes effect immediately.
Evening classes at a boys' school
The relocated students will study at Government Community Boys High School, Mozang, in the evening. That school already has 401 boys in the morning shift, so the two groups will use the same school at different times. The arrangement is the main change for the girls, who will follow a new timetable at an unfamiliar institution.
Parents and concerns over enrolment
Parents have argued that changing schools partway through the academic year is unfair to their children. Reports say several girls have refused to attend the evening classes. If students leave the Mozang girls' school altogether, enrolment could fall sharply, which is a concern for families and for the wider school system.
What happens next
The longer-term plan for the students and for the Mozang girls' school building has not been detailed yet. Whether the girls accept the evening schedule, and how the arrangement will work for the rest of the session, remains to be seen.
