INTRODUCTION
Tragic incident of anti-minority mob violence has effected every person directly and indirectly.
Recovery process has started and children are going back to schools now. Their learning process
has started but the following problems in Christian students are identified by Dy.DEOs (male and
female) of Jaranwala and Javeria Azam SST(CS) as a teacher and a Ph.D. Education scholar during
working on assignments of safe and secure learning process for effected students.
There are two types of effected students
1. Who are directly effected by vandalism and
2. Who they are not directly effected but they saw this incident and it impacted badly on their
mind.
Due to shock and trauma the students are going through
