Roof Collapse at Lahore Tutoring Center Kills Fourteen Children

A tutoring center's roof collapsed in Lahore on June 30, 2026, during construction, killing fourteen children and injuring others. A teacher was rescued from the rubble. Pakistan's private tutoring sector, which serves millions of low-income families filling gaps in public education, operates with minimal regulatory oversight. The disaster exposes gaps in permit enforcement, structural safety checks, and contractor liability when renovation work continues during instruction.
