Free books are provided to the students from primary to tenth level under the free education scheme by the Punjab government. Often every year children start studies with half incomplete books. This situation lasts not only for a few months but till the end of the session. This causes trouble to the child. At the same time, there remains a big problem for teachers and office workers. Every year the students have to bear the consequences of the lateness of the department. The education department is not serious about the education of the students. The proof of this is found in the absence of books even after three months of the session. The department should ensure the supply of books in the respective districts before the commencement of the session every year.
