ISLAMABAD – The Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) has announced 18-day summer vacations for all the educational institutions in the federal capital.
A notification issued by the FDE states that the vacation will be observed from July 18 till August 1. The vacations are normally announced for two to three months but the duration has been shortened this time to cover the study loss of students due to closure of schools over COVID-19 fears.

It announced that decision about vacations in provinces will be taken by the respective government in light of the prevailing situation.
