The District Education Authority (DEA) Lahore has ordered private schools to submit complete records of students admitted under the mandatory 10 percent free-education quota within three days, issuing a final warning to institutions that fail to comply. Under the Punjab Free and Compulsory Education Rules 2024, every private school must reserve at least 10 percent of seats in each class for children from disadvantaged families without charging any fees.

The authority instructed schools to submit the required information in both hard and soft copies. It also asked them to provide class-wise admission details and supporting documents to prove they have implemented the quota.

The DEA warned that it will initiate legal and administrative proceedings against schools that fail to meet the quota or withhold admission records. The authority said it could impose fines and suspend the registration of non-compliant institutions.

Officials said the enforcement campaign aims to protect the educational rights of low-income and disadvantaged children by ensuring that private schools fully comply with the law.
