A government primary school in Chiniot has come under scrutiny after reports of poor classroom conditions during extreme heat. The incident has raised concerns about student safety and basic learning facilities.
The case was reported from Government Primary School Chak 131 Lonewala. According to reports, students were made to sit in classrooms without working fans. The situation occurred during high summer temperatures.
It is alleged that school staff switched off fans to reduce electricity costs. Students were reportedly told that the electricity bill had become too high.
As a result, children were forced to study in hot and uncomfortable conditions. Many students complained about difficulty in focusing during lessons.
Parents and local residents expressed concern after learning about the issue. They said the situation was unacceptable for young students.
A video related to the incident later circulated on social media. The footage drew public attention and increased pressure on authorities.
The matter has prompted a response from education officials. The school is reportedly already operating under an outsourced management system.
Officials said the government is reviewing the situation carefully. The government is also considering action against the school operator.
A formal letter is being prepared for the Punjab Education Foundation. It will request action against those responsible for negligence.
Authorities said the government takes such complaints seriously. They emphasized that student welfare must not be compromised under any circumstances.
The government has also stated that proper classroom conditions are essential for effective learning. Basic facilities like ventilation and electricity must be ensured.
Education officials added that accountability will be enforced if violations are confirmed. They said action will follow after a full investigation.
The incident has highlighted ongoing concerns about management of outsourced schools. It has also raised questions about monitoring systems in government education institutions.
