A base date announced for reopening of not only schools but educational institutes in general is of 15^th September, therefore, all provinces are making required arrangements so that a final decision could be declared by Federal Ministry of Education.

On the same pattern, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) Education Ministry has developed SOPs and shared it with their schools so that a reopening can be announced. All SOPs are pretty similar to what other provinces and more importantly, federal government had developed.

In case of student, the entire class of that student will also be granted a 14-day leave and entire teaching staff shall be tested for corona virus.

In addition to that, face masks shall be maintained by all with no exception for anyone. Social distancing shall also be practiced on strict grounds with no handshake policy during the entire upcoming academic year. SOPs will have no exception, either an individual is staff, teacher, student or anyone from senior level management of the institute.
