MORNING ASSEMBLY: Majority of public sector schools here in Swabi have not yet started the morning assembly despite reopening on Friday after the summer vacation.

It was learnt on Monday that the morning assembly was not likely to be held anytime soon because grass grown in the grounds was yet to be removed, which was usually done during the summer vacation.

A school head said holding morning assembly was a must to ensure students reached school on time.

Meanwhile, Chota Lahor tehsil mayor expressed concern over the poor result of public sector schools, and stressed that teachers, parents and local government representatives should put their heads together to achieve the desired results.

“We can achieve good results with collective efforts while motivating students to work hard,” he said.
