ISLAMABAD (PEN) : The Sindh Education Department has officially declared summer vacations for all educational institutions across the province. The announcement, which applies to both public and private schools and colleges, outlines the break period from June 1 to July 31, 2025.
Extended Break for All Educational Institutions
According to the department’s notification, students and staff in Sindh can expect an extended holiday period, beginning June 1 and lasting through the end of July. This decision comes as the region experiences rising temperatures, prompting the need for a break to safeguard the well-being of students and staff.
Impact on Public and Private Institutions
The summer vacation schedule applies universally to all institutions, both government-run and private, under the jurisdiction of the Sindh Education Department. The move is in line with standard seasonal practices in the region, where schools typically close during the hottest months of the year.
This decision follows similar announcements made in other provinces of Pakistan, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, where educational institutions have also been granted extended summer breaks due to ongoing heatwave conditions.
Public Health and Safety Considerations
As temperatures continue to soar across the country, health experts have advocated for the early closure of schools to avoid heat-related illnesses among children. The Sindh government’s timely move reflects growing concerns over public safety during the summer season, particularly in regions experiencing extreme weather.
Parents and educators alike have expressed support for the measure, noting that it will provide a much-needed respite for students and staff alike, as schools and colleges prepare for the start of the new academic term in August.
The Education Department has advised that schools will resume regular classes after the summer break on August 1, 2025, unless otherwise directed by government authorities.
