The Punjab School Education Department has directed all public and private schools across the province to implement the Educational Institutions Security Status (EISS) Mobile Application and Web Portal.
The directive was issued by the Directorate General (Monitoring and Evaluation) through a letter dated August 23, 2026, addressed to all Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of District Education Authorities (DEAs).
CEOs have been instructed to circulate the directions among heads of public and private schools and ensure timely implementation of the system.
The EISS platform has been developed on the directions of the Punjab Home Department to establish a centralized digital database containing security-related information of educational institutions across Punjab.
The Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) was tasked with developing and operationalizing the system.
Under the new arrangement, school administrations will have to log in to the EISS mobile application or web portal using their existing or designated official credentials.
Schools will then be required to submit information about their security arrangements and other mandatory parameters through the platform.
The Education Department has directed school administrations to ensure that all information submitted through the EISS system is accurate, complete, current, and regularly updated.
The centralized platform will allow authorities to monitor security arrangements at educational institutions and review compliance across Punjab in real time.
The EISS platform will also become part of Punjab’s five-tier monitoring mechanism for educational institutions.
At Level-I, schools will conduct self-assessments of their security arrangements through the EISS platform.
The department said the centralized system will help authorities monitor prescribed security requirements, strengthen administrative oversight, and use collected data for evidence-based policymaking regarding the security of educational institutions.
The initiative is aimed at improving coordination between schools and government authorities while ensuring that security measures remain regularly monitored and updated across the province.
