LAYYAH, Sept 2: The teachers and other staff of 11 primary, five middle and four high schools have been shifted to other institutions in the wake of post-flood measures.
The decision taken by the education authorities has, however, deprived thousands of students in riverine area of getting education.
The recent low-level flood in the Indus had affected the schools, both for boys and girls, at the riverine belt of Layyah tehsil.
Water is still to be cleared away from these schools and the situation has prompted the education higher-ups to shift the teaching staff and other employees of the schools.
District Officer (Secondary) Mrs Tahira Chishti told this correspondent that the students and teachers of high schools had been shifted to institutes nearby so that education of students was not disturbed.
