The provincial authorities in Quetta have ordered the closure of all educational institutions, including government, private, and semi-government schools, until November 14, 2025, due to security concerns.
The sudden closure affects thousands of students, especially those preparing for Class 9 and 10 examinations. The decision highlights ongoing security challenges in Balochistan, prompting authorities to prioritize student safety.
Board officials confirmed that exams for Classes 9 and 10 have been postponed, with new dates to be announced soon.
