The Sindh Education Department has declared a two-month summer break for public and private educational establishments, following Punjab.
The two-month summer break for public and private schools will begin on June 2 and end on July 31, according to a notification sent out by the Education Department on Tuesday. The notification also stated that the steering committee had given its approval for the summer vacation.
The province of Sindh’s public and private educational institutions will all have summer breaks, according to the announcement made by the government. The official notification states that the schools will reopen on August 1 after a two-month vacation that begins on June 1 and ends on July 31.
The steering committee of the provincial government made this decision and made it clear that all schools in Sindh, private and public, will be closed for the summer vacation. All province-wide educational institutions have already received notice of the holidays, so compliance has already been ensured.
Due to the heatwave that was affecting many of the province’s cities, schoolchildren had previously pleaded with the chief minister of Sindh via video message to declare summer vacations. Furthermore, because of the heat, Sindh also delayed the matric and intermediate exams. The date of the intermediate exam was moved up to May 27. This choice was made in accordance with CM Shah’s instructions.
Because of the current heat wave, the Punjab government declared early summer holidays for all public and private schools yesterday. A notification states that from May 25 to August 15, all Punjabi government and private schools will be closed. Minister of Education for Punjab Rana Sikandar Hayat said in a statement that many private schools had gotten in touch with the government about early summer vacations.
