Education reforms: More than 1,400 schools being renovated in Punjab

MULTAN: In a bid to reform education sector, more than 1,400 government schools are being renovated across the province. Punjab government is taking concrete measures to raise the standard of education.

District Coordination Officer Nadir Chattha said this while presiding over a meeting of education committee members at DCO office in Multan.

He said new classrooms will be constructed in more than 1400 schools, while work was also being carried out on construction of washrooms.

He added furniture of the classrooms will also be replaced with new one.
