Students suffer as FDE suspends bus service

Sudden, unexplained halt in bus services has left students stranded and unaware of whether classes are continuing

ISLAMABAD:

The educational activities in schools and colleges working under the ambit of the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) across the city have been severely affected due to the recent law and order situation, which stemmed from the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chief Imran Khan.

The law and order situation has resulted in a chain reaction of events that have left students, parents, and teachers in a state of confusion and frustration.

The controlling office of the educational institutions of Islamabad, FDE, has come under fire for its lack of effective communication and inability to provide timely information to students and parents regarding the suspension of academic activities.

The educational institutions have suspended bus service without prior notification to the students. The sudden and unexplained halt in bus services has left students stranded and unaware of whether classes are continuing or not.
