Out-of-school children especially those assisting mechanics in workshop will be taught for three hours in the morning under an initiative launched by South Punjab Education Department.
A well-placed source in the education department told APP on Sunday that Provincial Education minister Murad Ras would launch the initiative on September 8 at Govt Pilot Secondary School.
Initially, two schools will be engaged for this purpose, one for primary schooling while the second for higher classes.
