The Private School Solutions of Pakistan (PSSP) has appealed to the government to allow private educational institutions to reopen at the earliest, saying prolonged closures are negatively affecting students’ learning, academic progress, and exam preparation.
The demand was raised during a meeting chaired by PSSP President Malik Abdul Sami, where school representatives discussed the challenges facing the private education sector, government restrictions, and possible solutions to ensure uninterrupted education.
Speaking at the meeting, Malik Abdul Sami said students have already experienced significant academic disruptions in recent years and any further delay in reopening schools could widen learning gaps. He urged authorities to take a balanced decision that protects both public health and students’ right to education.

He also called on unregistered private schools to complete their registration process without delay. According to him, registered institutions can operate in accordance with government regulations, ensuring legal compliance while maintaining educational standards.
Participants reaffirmed their commitment to cooperating with the education authorities to resolve issues affecting private schools. They emphasized that stronger coordination between the government and private institutions is essential for improving the quality of education and providing a stable learning environment.
The meeting was attended by Senior Vice President Imtiaz Shaukat, Provincial President Saeed Khan, General Secretary Tauheed Ahmed, Hafiz Farooq Khan, Rafiq Khalil, Waheed Shah, Azhar Khan, Malik Sarwar, Talib Hussain, and other office-bearers.
Education experts note that private schools educate millions of students across Pakistan, making timely policy decisions crucial for the continuity of the academic calendar. They believe that reopening schools under official guidelines can help minimize learning losses while ensuring students remain on track with their studies.
The organization expressed hope that the government would consider the concerns of students, parents, and educational institutions and announce a decision that supports uninterrupted learning while safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders.
