Public and private educational institutions in Peshawar will remain closed on Monday amid heightened security concerns in several parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The closure announcements have also affected educational activities in other districts, with local authorities issuing separate instructions based on the situation in their respective areas.
According to the report, the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Bannu has postponed all Secondary School Certificate (SSC) Annual-II examination papers scheduled for Monday. The board said revised dates would be announced later, and students have been advised to wait for an official notification before making further examination plans.
Matriculation Annual-II examinations scheduled for Monday have also been postponed until further orders. Examinations in Kohat have reportedly been postponed as well, although revised dates for the affected papers have not yet been announced in the provided information.
Educational institutions in Lower Dir and South Waziristan will also remain closed on Monday. In Malakand district, schools and other educational institutions will remain closed for two days, Monday and Tuesday. The district administration has additionally imposed Section 144 for 30 days, introducing restrictions under the relevant legal provisions.
These closures and examination postponements have disrupted academic activities across several areas of KP. Students and parents are advised to follow official announcements from their district administrations and examination boards to confirm school reopening arrangements and updated examination schedules.
The relevant authorities are expected to announce new dates for postponed papers once the situation has been reviewed and examination arrangements are finalised. Until then, students should rely on official notifications for accurate information about their examinations and avoid assuming that previously announced dates remain valid.
