In a recent development, numerous government schools in Punjab, particularly in Lahore, have failed to meet their admission targets for the ongoing academic year. As a consequence, the District Education Authority of Lahore has initiated actions against underperforming schools, with a focus on replacing principals who did not achieve the specified admission goals.
Show cause notices have dispatched to 30 high schools in Lahore, highlighting their failure to meet the set admission targets. Some of the notable institutions receiving notices include Government Girls High School Singhpura, Government Muslim League High School Empress Road, and Government Understanding Girls Wahdat Road. The list extends to other prominent schools like Govt. Sheikh Sheikh Sardar Garhi Shahu, Government Girls Junior Model Multan Road, and Government Girls High School Gulberg.
Additional schools served with notices encompass Government High School Jalu Station, Government School Padana, and Islamia School Ichhra. The comprehensive list also includes Government High School Railway Colony Mughalpura, Government Girls School Umar Block Iqbal Town, and APS Model Town.
Among the institutions in the spotlight are Government School Shahdara Town, Gwala Colony, and Muslim High School No. 2 Civil Lines. Furthermore, Government Girls School Road Krishna Nagar, Government Islamia High School Cantt, and Government High School Walton are among those facing repercussions for missing their admission targets.
These schools have given a deadline of January 15 to fulfill their admission targets. Notably, headmasters failing to meet these targets will subjected to dismissal from their positions, as per the directives issued by the District Education Authority.
Emphasizing the significance of meeting admission goals, the District Education Authority underscores the crucial role such achievements play in ensuring quality education and effective school management. This initiative seeks to maintain educational standards and accountability in government schools across Lahore.
