Teacher’s representative body has announced that all government educational institutions will remain closed for an indefinite time period effective from Tuesday in protest of the government’s move of giving the Federal Directorate of Education under the administrative control of the Islamabad Metropolitan Corporation (MCI).
The FDE, an attached department of the Ministry of Education and Professional Training, is nurturing 424 educational institutions including schools and colleges in the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT). These institutions impart education from pre-school to masters level both in rural and urban areas of the ICT.
