LAHORE: The Punjab School Education Department has decided to outsource middle schools after primary institutions as part of reforms in the education sector.
According to the department, decisions on closures or outsourcing will be based on the 2025 school census.
Schools with dangerous buildings will be immediately shut down, while those with poor performance and inadequate facilities will be outsourced.
Officials said selected institutions would be included in the Nawaz Sharif School of Eminence category.
Schools with enrolment between 100 and 150 students are expected to be placed on the outsourcing list.
The department noted it has already outsourced around 13,000 schools previously.
