ISLAMABAD, June 27 (DNA): National Command Operation Centre (NCOC) has
proposed summer holidays in educational institutes nationwide from July
18 as Punjab province is opposing the decision.
According to details, the NCOC has proposed summer holidays between July
18 and August 01.
However, the Punjab government while opposing the decision conveyed that
it wanted to announce a month-long holiday from July 02 to August 02.
After disagreement from both sides, the matter would now be mulled over
by the education conference of the NCOC where provinces will have their
say over the matter. The meeting will be convened soon to finalize the
decision.
It is pertinent to mention here that the All Pakistan Private Schools
Federation (APPSF) on Saturday announced that there would be no summer
holidays across the nationwide educational institutes in 2021.
President APPSF Kashif Mirza said that the schools will remain open
during the summer holidays and would remain open between 7:00 am to
11:00 am.
“The students could come to private schools in casual dress rather than
in school uniforms,” he said adding that the decision was taken in view
of hot weather conditions.
Kashif Mirza further announced that educational institutes could also
adopt online classes if they had the facility to do so. DNA
