The authorities in Punjab have decided to reactivate the Daanish School Authority in the province, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Saturday.

According to the TV channel, it has also been decided to hand over 13 high schools of Lahore to the Daanish School Authority.

The Daanish School Authority’s activation was barred during previous government’s tenure.

The schools were not handed over the Authority due to the non-availability of the funds.

As many as 13 big schools in the provincial capital including Govt Comprehensive Girls High School, Wahdat Road, Govt Pilot Secondary School, Wahdat Road, Govt Model High School, Model Town, Govt Comprehensive Higher Secondary School, Ghorey Shah, Central Model School, Rattigan Road and Govt High School, Samanabad will be handed over to the Daanish School Authority after the approval of Punjab government.
