The Government of Sindh has announced two-month-long summer vacations from 1 June to 31 July 2022 for all public and private schools and colleges across the province.
The decision was made during a meeting of the Sindh Education and Literacy Department’s (SELD) Steering Committee that was chaired by the provincial Minister for Education, Syed Sardar Ali Shah, on Tuesday.
The meeting was attended by the chairperson of education boards and officials from the SELD and the Ministry of Education, and it was decided that the annual examinations for Grades 4 to 8 will be conducted from 2 May onward.
The attendees also agreed to hold the Matriculation and Intermediate examinations from 17 May and 15 June respectively, and the chairpersons of the education boards stated that the results will be released within two months of the examinations.
The authorities also decided that the examinations comprise 40 percent MCQs and 60 percent subjective questions.
The Secretary of Colleges, Syed Khalid Haider Shah, added that the admission process will be initiated as soon as the results of the Intermediate board examinations are announced.
The Steering Committee said that the summer vacations will be held between 1 June and 31 July, and the new academic year will start from 1 August. Additionally, the winter vacations will be from 22 December to 31 December.
Speaking at the occasion, the Secretary for Education, Ghulam Akbar Leghari, said that optical mark recognition (OMR) machines will be provided to all the boards and the education department will send teams to conduct training workshops for their usage.
Nonsense decisions on Summer and Winter Holidays. Seems they Rr drunk.
They should know since last couple of years hot summers starts early from April and it’s peak time is Mid April to end May.
Winters usually stars from 1st week of Jan and its peak time is between 10th to 20th Jan. They should stop practice of announcing holidays which we ha e been noticing since last 40+ years.
Ramadan Karim is starting from April 3, so my advise is to announce summer holidays from 1st April to 31st May to give relief to not only children’s as well as parents. New session can be start by 1st June.
They can compile data from Met department before taking decision on summer and winter holidays.
Best advice. I appreciate your calculated opinion. If ministers are ……than decisions will be like that.
1st thing why is it always necessary for media to put women/girls images for any kind of news? I mean why, specifically girl students only when our culture also not allow this.
Now coming to summer holidays, I don’t understand what kind of people sitting there who decides things upside down. When there was speak winter they opened the school and when things were bearable they give holiday.
Give summer holidays when it’s truly hot. Dnt open schools in May 30th, June till july 30.
