In a major step toward improving education infrastructure, the Punjab School Education Department has launched a dedicated helpline for reporting schools that lack basic facilities. This initiative aims to ensure that every government school across Punjab is equipped with essential amenities — from classrooms to clean water and toilets — in line with the vision of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.

Purpose of the Helpline

The newly introduced Education Facilities Helpline (0316-0261408) allows teachers, headmasters, and community members to directly report missing infrastructure in public schools.

Reports can include:

• Missing or damaged classrooms

• Lack of clean drinking water

• Absence of toilets or sanitation blocks

• Missing boundary walls or security measures

• Non-functional electricity and fans

This direct-report system will help the department respond faster, prioritize schools in need, and ensure a safe and supportive learning environment for students across Punjab.

Government’s Vision: 100% Facility Coverage

Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat confirmed that comprehensive data on missing facilities has already been compiled from all districts.
He emphasized that this initiative reflects Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s commitment to providing every child in Punjab with access to quality education in a well-equipped classroom.

“As announced by Madam Chief Minister, we will ensure that 100 percent of missing facilities are provided across Punjab’s schools,”
said Rana Sikandar Hayat in an official statement.

Ongoing Development Efforts

The Punjab Education Department has already begun mapping schools that require upgrades or additional classrooms.
The process includes:

1. Verification of reported schools through local education offices.

2. Allocation of development funds based on urgency and student strength.

3. Regular monitoring of construction and repair work.

This data-driven approach ensures that rural and underdeveloped areas receive equal attention in infrastructure development.

Impact on Students & Communities

A school without proper facilities often discourages attendance and affects learning outcomes. With this new helpline, the government hopes to:

• Boost enrollment rates by improving conditions in public schools.

• Provide safe, hygienic, and inclusive classrooms for all students.

• Empower communities to participate in school improvement.

By ensuring functional toilets, safe boundaries, and adequate classrooms, Punjab aims to create a learning environment where every student can thrive.

How to Report Missing Facilities

To report a missing facility or infrastructure issue:

1. Call the official Education Helpline at 0316-0261408.

2. Provide the school name, district, and specific issue (e.g., “no toilets,” “damaged classroom,” “no clean water”).

3. Submit any supporting photos or videos if possible.

4. Keep track of the complaint through your school administration office.

Reports will be verified by the School Council and local authorities before corrective action is initiated.

Final Words

The Punjab Schools Facilities Helpline marks a new era of transparency and accountability in public education.
By directly engaging teachers and citizens, the provincial government ensures that no child is left behind due to poor infrastructure.

If your school still lacks basic amenities, don’t stay silent — report it today at 0316-0261408 and help build a better learning future for Punjab’s children.
