LAHORE: The Punjab<\/span> Provincial Disaster Management Authority<\/a> (PDMA) has issued<\/span> early summer vacation<\/span> recommendations<\/span> for schools due to the power<\/span> of the heatwave currently<\/span> engulfing<\/span> Pakistan.<\/p>\n

In a notice directed<\/span> to the Department of School Education, the<\/span> Department<\/span> of<\/span> Higher Education<\/a>, and the authority<\/span>‘<\/span>s<\/span> inspectors<\/span>, PDMA Director General Irfan Ali Kathia outlined<\/span> this<\/span> plan<\/span> in the<\/span> event<\/span> of extreme temperatures<\/span>.<\/p>\n

For<\/span> the<\/span> safety of<\/span> students<\/span>, the PDMA has issued<\/span> a<\/span> list<\/span> of<\/span> precautions for school<\/span> and college<\/span> faculty<\/span> and<\/span> administrators<\/span> to implement<\/span>.<\/span> These<\/span> measures<\/span> included<\/span> having<\/span> continuous access to cool<\/span> drinking water, making<\/span> students wear light clothing, and immediately<\/span> banning<\/span> outdoor activities when<\/span> excessive<\/span> heat conditions<\/span> arise<\/span>.<\/p>\n

In<\/span> addition<\/span> to<\/span> these<\/span> recommendations<\/span>, schools were<\/span> asked<\/span> to<\/span> maintain<\/span> classrooms<\/span> that<\/span> provided<\/span> adequate<\/span> air<\/span> flow<\/span>, and working<\/span> air<\/span> conditioning<\/span> units<\/span> and<\/span> fans<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The PDMA highlighted<\/span> the<\/span> suggestion<\/span> to<\/span> create<\/span> first aid stations<\/span> or<\/span> counters in schools with<\/span> staff<\/span> trained and<\/span> equipped<\/span> to help<\/span> students<\/span> if<\/span> any<\/span> problems<\/span> arose<\/span> due<\/span> to<\/span> a<\/span> heatwave<\/a> and<\/span> to<\/span> stay<\/span> in<\/span> continuous communication with District Disaster Management Authorities to<\/span> relay<\/span> information<\/span> as<\/span> needed<\/span>.<\/p>\n

With<\/span> this<\/span> in<\/span> place<\/span>, the government intends<\/span> to ensure<\/span> each<\/span> student<\/span>‘<\/span>s<\/span> safety<\/span> and<\/span> pride<\/span> against<\/span> the heatwave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
