KARACHI: Teachers will now be provided with facilities to conduct online classes by schools' management, All Private Schools Association chairperson Tariq Shah said.

"We have also obtained permission from the government to allow teachers to conduct online classes from the school premises," he said on Monday.

"This way, they will be using the facilities provided to them by schools," Shah said.

"Initially, teachers had been using their own facilities because there was a lockdown and schools had been closed for three months," he said.

"But now, with the smart lockdown, things are falling back into place." Shah said schools had also made sure that they paid their teachers' salaries from their own pockets.
