A large number of parents living in the Rawalpindi Cantonment area also met the Joint Action Committee and expressed their concern that the people have no choice but to educate children. If educational institutions were closed down, their future would suffer.
The right to education is legally guaranteed for all without any discrimination. The state has the obligation to protect, respect, and fulfil the right to education.

The basic right to education should not be disturbed and the authorities should take immediate notice of this so that such a big mess does not spread in the society because it is not the issue of the future of 3.7 million children but as well as 500,000 teachers. The committee assured that it stood with the parents in this struggle for the future of children as well as future of Pakistan.
