The Balochistan government has launched multiple steps for the functioning of the inactive and non-functional schools across the province, a handout issued by the CM Press Secretary said on Tuesday. The handout reads that on the directives of Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Qudus Bizenjo, the Secretary Education was asked to submit a detailed report. In this connection, practical steps have been taken on the detailed report received to CM Secretariat from the secretary education on the non-functional schools.
