The Punjab Government shut down a mammoth 5,700 schools after labeling them ‘dysfunctional’.
Sources say the government had decided to close the schools due to inadequate funds required for their running.
It is believed that low attendance in schools is being used as an excuse for the closure.
The step has substantially affected those belonging to lower economic classes, as most of the families will have to curb spending on essentials in order to send their children to the more expensive private schools.
