The Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) has officially abolished the Saturday holiday in all federally managed educational institutions. A notification issued on Friday stated that the decision aims to compensate for the academic disruptions caused by the recent school closures.
The new schedule will begin on November 30 (tomorrow) and will remain in effect until February 1, 2025. Under this change, Saturday will be considered a full working day for all schools and colleges within the FDE’s jurisdiction.
FDE officials explained that the move is necessary to make up for the significant loss of instructional time caused by prolonged holidays and unanticipated school closures. The decision is intended to ensure that students can complete their syllabus on time and receive the full amount of educational instruction required.
