      <title>Lahore launches emergency survey of tuition centres after roof collapse</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330461795/lahore-launches-emergency-survey-of-tuition-centres-after-roof-collapse</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Lahore Education Authority has launched an emergency survey of tuition centres, private academies and educational buildings across the city following the roof collapse at a tuition centre in Kahna, which claimed the lives of 14 children.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The district administration has also announced fines for running tuition classes in homes without permission.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the Education Authority, the three-day survey will collect details on security arrangements, student enrolment and other key information at all private academies and tuition centres.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A comprehensive report will be prepared after the survey is completed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The authority said the findings will be used to formulate a new policy and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the registration and regulation of private tuition centres to help prevent similar incidents in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The survey will also identify unsafe and unregistered tuition centres.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Special inspection teams comprising zonal heads and Assistant Education Officers (AEOs) have been formed to complete the exercise within three days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Education Authority said measures are being taken to ensure the safety of students and regulate private academies and tuition centres across Lahore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Director of Communication for the Education Authority, Tariq Mahmood, said an effective and comprehensive regulatory framework would be introduced based on the survey findings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Separately, the Lahore district administration has ordered the closure of all illegal tuition centres and announced fines for the unauthorised commercial use of residential properties for tuition classes.&lt;/p&gt;
