A school roof collapse in northwest Pakistan has killed 32 children and one teacher. The disaster has prompted authorities in the region to begin safety inspections of school buildings.
According to the source, the inspections are being carried out at schools across the northwest, where the tragedy occurred. Their aim is to assess whether school buildings are safe for pupils and staff.
The incident has also raised wider questions about how school building safety is regulated and supervised in the country. These questions concern whether existing rules are adequate and whether they are being followed.
The source does not give details on the exact cause of the collapse, on any injured people or on an official investigation, so those circumstances remain unknown for now. The results of the inspections may show whether similar risks exist at other schools in the region.
