I guess this is such a bad decision cuz the situation is not that much controlled to be honest. Just saw the new graph stating that cases are increasing in Islamabad so this is very unproductive decision. If school can teach through online plat forms then what’s the point of opening school just for 2 days like that does not make sense please look into this matter thanks.
