A government girls’ school in Mozang, Lahore, has been declared unsafe, forcing authorities to relocate 265 students to a nearby boys’ school during the ongoing academic session.
The students of Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Mozang, have been moved to Government Community Boys High School, where they will attend classes in the evening shift.
The decision has raised concerns among parents, who say the sudden change in school arrangements could disrupt their daughters’ education at a critical point in the academic year.
Girls to Attend Evening Classes at Boys’ School
Under the new arrangement, the relocated girls will attend evening classes at Government Community Boys High School, Mozang. The institution already accommodates 401 boys during the morning shift.
The separate shifts will allow the school to accommodate students from both institutions, but the change means the girls must adjust to a different timetable and learning environment.
Authorities have not provided further details in the information available about the building’s safety assessment, the specific structural concerns identified or the timeline for addressing the problem.

Parents Raise Concerns Over Sudden Relocation
The relocation has unsettled parents, who argue that moving students to another school midway through the academic year places an additional burden on families.
Changes in school timings can create difficulties for parents managing transport, household responsibilities and their children’s daily routines.
Evening classes may also be unsuitable for some students, depending on their travel arrangements and family circumstances.
Parents are concerned that the disruption could affect attendance and academic progress if a suitable long-term arrangement is not made.
Students Reportedly Reluctant to Attend Evening Classes
Several girls have reportedly refused to attend the new evening shift, raising fears that the relocation could lead to a decline in enrolment.
If students withdraw or stop attending classes, the disruption could have consequences beyond the immediate change of venue.
Maintaining attendance during the transition will therefore be an important concern for school administrators and education officials.
The situation also raises questions about how authorities will ensure continuity of education while the original school building remains classified as unsafe.

Safety and Education Remain Key Concerns
Declaring a school building unsafe makes student protection a priority. However, the relocation has also highlighted the need for clear communication with parents and practical arrangements that minimise disruption to learning.
Education authorities need to clarify the findings of the safety assessment, explain whether repairs are possible and outline plans for the girls’ schooling in the coming months.
For the 265 affected students, the immediate challenge is continuing their education without compromising their safety or creating barriers to regular attendance.
Further details about the building assessment and any permanent relocation plan have not been provided in the information available.
