Islamabad’s federal government educational institutions are set for an extended break around Eid, effectively giving students and staff up to 11 consecutive off-days when the notified closures are combined with the weekend and a national holiday.
According to the official notification, federal government schools and colleges will remain closed from March 24 to March 27 for spring holidays, and will reopen on March 30.
Officials have said these spring holidays have been merged with Eid ul Fitr holidays, creating a longer continuous break for institutions that follow the notified schedule.
Based on the holiday chain being circulated, the extended stretch is being counted as follows: March 19, 20 and 21 as Eid holidays, March 22 as Sunday, March 23 as a national holiday, March 24 to March 27 as spring break, and March 28 as Sunday, resulting in an uninterrupted run of days off for many students in the capital.
The extended break comes as institutions prepare to resume classes on March 30 after the closure period ends.
