Education vs TikTok
As we all know the second wave of COVID-19 already started in Pakistan. The daily increase in cases reached 750 compared to 400 to 500 a few weeks ago because of the sudden increase in active cases government impose lockdown by today.
Yesterday, The Federal Minister of Education announced the closure of all institutions, schools, or colleges till January 2021 to control the spread of coronavirus. The students of Pakistan are very happy with that decision but few months backs they are the same people who are upset about TikTok banned.

Around the world, communities are taking drastic measures to curtail the spread of coronavirus but The world has learned to live with Corona. Education institutions are not completely closed in any country except Pakistan.
40% of Pakistani students do not have internet service. Thousands of students from the tribal districts are currently studying in other cities, with the closure of universities and the introduction of online classes jeopardizing the academic careers of all these thousands of students.
Masks, kits, and sanitizers are now plentiful in Pakistan. Can't educational institutions be run under SOPs?
