Summer Holidays New Schedule for Schools
| Events | Dates |
|---|---|
| Start of Summer Vacations | Already in effect |
| Previous Reopening Date | August 15, 2025 |
| New Reopening Date | September 1, 2025 |
| Extended Vacation End Date | August 31, 2025 |
The directive, approved by the competent authority, has been circulated to Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of all district education authorities for strict implementation.
The prolonged summer holidays are due to ongoing monsoon rains and flood-related disruptions affecting several parts of the province since late June. However, the extended closure has drawn criticism from private school organizations.
All Pakistan Private Schools Associations (APPSA) has strongly opposed the decision, stating that the weather situation has improved and there is no justification for further delays.
With the revised schedule now in effect, students, parents, and educational staff are advised to prepare for the new reopening date: September 1, 2025.
