School Uniforms: ‘Store them for one month’
The Education Department has allowed children to attend schools without uniforms for one month.
LAHORE:
The Education Department has allowed children to attend schools without uniforms for one month. It has directed school administrations accordingly so that children can wear long sleeved shirts and trousers to avoid unnecessary exposure to mosquitoes. The instructions were issued on Friday, a day after school uniforms were changed to full sleeve shirts and trousers, apparently so that parents do not have to buy children winter uniforms right away.
