Islamabad, Pakistan: In a surprising move, the Ministry of Education has announced the discontinuation of Saturday holidays for all schools in Islamabad. The decision, which has been met with mixed reactions, aims to provide students with additional learning time.
According to the official notification, the new schedule will take effect immediately. Schools will now be open on Saturdays for regular classes. The Ministry has emphasized the importance of this decision in improving academic standards and preparing students for future challenges.
While some parents and students have expressed concerns about the increased workload, others have welcomed the move as a necessary step to enhance educational outcomes. The Ministry has assured that measures will be taken to ensure that the additional learning time is used effectively and does not burden students.
It remains to be seen how this change will impact the overall quality of education in Islamabad. However, the decision is a significant departure from the traditional academic calendar and could have long-lasting implications for the city’s educational landscape.
