Private Schools Demand End to Saturday Holiday

Private schools have demanded the abolition of Saturday holidays in the upcoming academic year, according to a report.

Head of Pak Aiwan-e-Taleem for Private Schools Qazi Naeem Anjum proposed that summer holidays should be limited to two months, while winter vacations should be reduced to only 10 days in January. He said the academic year should consist of at least 180 days.

Anjum stated that due to unannounced holidays during the previous academic year, academic activities could be conducted for only 127 days. He added that the reduced number of teaching days made it difficult for schools to complete the syllabus.

He also suggested that schools should be allowed to organize summer camps during the summer holidays to help complete the syllabus.

Officials of the School Education Department assured representatives of private schools that their demands would be considered after hearing their proposals.
