The Public and Private Schools in Punjab arc teaching the Holy Quran. However, there are instances that said subject is not being reflected in the time table by some schools especially in private sector.

Therefore, you are directed to ensure that all Public and Private Schools not only teach the Holy Quran as a compulsory subject but their school time table also duly reflect a period for teaching of the Holy Quran.
