Notification of ‘Dance for Education’ cancelled

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Ministry of Education has canceled the notification of “Dance for Education” in educational institutions after a strong reaction from parents and reservations from some higher authorities.

According to the notification, dance videos were to be shared on social media. However, parents had expressed concern regarding the notification as being against Islamic values.
