Every day I see my grandchildren and their mother get up in the morning before sunrise to prepare for school which they have to attend at 8:00am. In this cold weather and in most part of Punjab, which is devastated by smog, going to school at this time is inhumane to say the least.The Punjab government as well as the federal government, it is suggested, may consider a revision in school timings. According to the weather conditions prevalent in Punjab, it may be divided into three parts – northern, central and southern Punjab. School hours for these areas during winter and summer should be different. For Islamabad, the hours should be 9:00am to 3:00pm. The education authorities may also kindly consider the schedule of winter and summer vacations in view of climate change in order to facilitate schoolgoing children and their parents.Lt-Col (r) Arshad N QureshiIslamabad
