The District Education Authority (DEA) Lahore has launched a strict crackdown following the end of winter vacations, suspending dozens of teachers on the very first day for being absent from duty.
The move signals a tougher stance on discipline as government schools reopen across the city.
Education Officers Deployed for Field Monitoring
According to the Education Authority, all officers will remain in the field to conduct thorough inspections of government schools.
Officials confirmed that the attendance of both teaching and non-teaching staff is being monitored closely to ensure full compliance.
Zero Tolerance on Attendance and Discipline
The authority has made it clear that no leniency will be shown in matters related to attendance.
School heads have been directed to ensure:
-
Complete attendance records
-
Proper maintenance of school documentation
-
Timely reporting of absentees
Any negligence will result in immediate action.
Security SOPs to Be Strictly Enforced
Along with attendance, the Education Authority has instructed schools to ensure full implementation of security SOPs.
School principals have been told to:
-
Maintain student attendance properly
-
Keep all school records updated
-
Ensure a secure learning environment
Head Teachers Face Suspension Warning
The DEA Lahore has also warned that head teachers will be suspended immediately if they fail to enforce official instructions.
Officials stated that discipline, attendance, and security are non-negotiable, and no compromise will be made in these areas.
Why This Action Matters
Education experts believe that such enforcement aims to:
-
Improve accountability in public schools
-
Ensure smooth academic activity after holidays
-
Strengthen safety and discipline standards
The action has already sent a strong message across the education sector in Lahore.
