Private schools in Lahore are under scrutiny by the government for their practices of collecting additional annual funds and mandating purchases of uniforms and books from specific outlets. The Deputy Commissioner of Lahore issued a warning to these educational institutions, citing violations of The Punjab Private Educational Institutions (Promotion and Regulation) Ordinance 1984. Schools have been directed to abide by regulations that only allow for tuition and admission fees to be charged, prohibiting additional costs such as uniforms and books from specific vendors. Failure to comply may result in punitive action. The government aims to ensure transparency and fairness in the education sector, safeguarding parents from unnecessary financial burdens imposed by private schools.
