Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has decided against giving winter vacations in educational institutes in the province on account of insufficient time to cover the entire syllabus.
According to the official notification issued by the Elementary and Secondary Education Department (ESED), the working days to complete the course work for the academic session 2022-23 in the schools in KP are not sufficient in the aftermath of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Therefore, barring any unusual change in the weather conditions, there will no winter vacations in public and private schools in the summer zone of the province.
Moreover, winter vacations in the public and private schools in the winter zone have been decreased and the schools will remain closed from 1 January to 15 February. Winter zone schools will reopen on 16 February.
Here is the notification:

The decision has been taken in the best interest of the students and to overcome the huge gap of working days in schools, the notification concluded.
On the other hand, students and parents have termed the decision as a strange one because the mercury regularly drops near and below the freezing point in summer and winter zones respectively.

What are they doing every decision of them is just a garbage. On the bases short time we had covered our entire syllabus.we were need time in the previous year however we were got only 9 months in order to cover such a larger syllabus of FSC part 1…every decision they take has no benefits for us…
Bro we only got 6 months to cover the syllabus of ics part 1 in Lahore these stupid political think that they know everything they only think themselves there kids don’t do to matric or inter instead they do a and o levels because they know very well the education of Pakistan just sucks 😔 they only looting our future from us
God see dat stupid kind of decision ever made like we know how it’s freezing cold at the time of early morning when we send them it should b taken back and announce da vacations as every year its not acceptable
They wont realize cox they wake up at noon and go for their offices. These type of goons have been dominated upon us to rule upon us. While there is much way better talent who deserves their posts.
Are they serious theybare giving vacation from 1st Jan 2023 to 15 Feb 2023 mean 45 days ?
Good step
Ap ki qismat achi hai k sirf downvotes possible hain, online thappar nhi lagaya ja skta
I wonder that how the authorities on their own grant vacations and then withdraw. Stakeholders are the teachers do they consult them in taking such decision.
All school children are suffering from chest infection and have sever dry cough plus cold symptoms. Cool and dry weather are in peak particularly in winter zone, due to absence of rain. If they really wants students favour than vacations is the best option as soon as possible. If weather get better in February then government can cutoff last month vacations.

The Weather forecast from first week of January will be too low it must be from January. What a foolish decision by a disgusting education minister.
Its good decision from kpk Eased I hope that it will hepled student to complete their course in time thanks
Only mentally retard will support this
Not a mature decision I don’t know what happened to the Education ministry. Poor children are suffering from dry cough and chest infection it’s really cold early in the morning.
Course work doesn’t matter if student suffer from disease. Than what,?
Provincial government needs to revisit their decision, as it’s too cold for young kids to bear.
Ridiculous!!!
Helloooooo.y government behave like an idiot. Mid term exams have been taken … next session will be start shortly….then y r they taking as such nonsense discission for no reason
What a foolish decision! most of our children have fallen victims to pneumonia due to severe cold. Healthy body bears healthy mind. This govt. is destined to ruin the nation not only to put them in starvation but also to physically damage the saplings.
Not a Wise and Good Decision. Students and Teachers need a little brake from Tough Routine.
Our kp educational minister is just drunk!
Problem is our higher authorities are never selected on ranking basis but instead by illegal ways, that’s the only reason they have no idea what they are required to do.
Brain dead humans!
Remove this dirt Imran Khan otherwise this mentally retard Will spoil everything
Ma ki p#%”∆y KP gov D!
Ab ye education minister kya bakc**di kr rha hai iski maa ki aankh.

AoA,,. They are just getting mad for going against the Federal Govt. They need to think about people and should not play their part in foolish political activities which ultimately will affect the people.,
Such inadequate decision. Many schools do not even have heaters in order for kids to stay warm. Many schools have covered the syllabus in the given time thus there is no need to ruin the holidays of students as mental stress and pressure might affect them which will make the situation worse, the results of which can cause students to have less fun in studies.
Ya even In village it’s too cold n fog also bt still kids r going n pvt sector’s they have close the schools b4 … n nor they haven’t wait for govt declaration also …n even sum kids r sufferings frm cold n fever 🤒
N ya in other government schools saturday n Sunday is off bt here it’s open 😦
Yet again kpk authorties Not leaving a chance To prove their legendry incompetency.
They can’t even taken sensible decisions about school holidays for children. Pathetic education administration.
Kpk govt has become the monarch of stupidity and nonsense. No province can beat them in this field.
Pakistani government is the most stupid government . They don’t know what are they doing. Here in kpk swabi the temperature goes down to 2c and they says that weather is good. In my opinion health of children is most important then anything else. Ms.shyram khan visit to swabi in a close car with a heater and then give order to cancel vocation. Is it justice 😭😭😭😭
Very good yes you are write very winter in manshera district
Mishtakes…
Much appreciated. Our nation is very fond of holidays. These are actually Christmas holidays. Govt should stop giving these days off.
Aur koi reason nhi in holidays ki?? Damagh hai b ya sirf sasti biryani bhari hoi sir main?
What the hell
This is wrong in our village it is 5 C temperature and very cold why not vactions
According to my point of view its totally unfair, because here in karak there is toomuch cold and we are unable to go to college in this condition!!! Everytime govt take a stupid action like they are small kids which they don,t know anything or otherwise they are full illetrate!!!!
I know that in some areas of karachi and islamabad there is no cold, it does not means that the cold is not present in all areas, and 2nd thing you are unable to complete the course in just 7 days😷
Kamal bhai kamal ki baat ki hai. Aik upvote idhar… Aik upvote udhar
RIDICULOUS!
کم از کم آٹھویں جماعت تک چٹھی ہونی چاہیے ۔
First of all coronavirus was in 2019 not now and the weather is too cold and foggy at morning that’s why they should give winter vacation to students
Coronavirus abhi bhi hai but baki baten ap ne sahi ki hain. Waise 7 days main sardi khatam to nhi ho gi. Lets ask for one month
Foolish and resdiculous
It is a best decision because the winter vacation is so long and reduce the students academic performance
