The Sindh College Education Department has announced a five-day working week for all public and private colleges under its administrative control. The new schedule has taken effect immediately and will remain in force until further notice.
According to an official notification, colleges will now operate from Monday to Friday. The decision was issued with the approval of the competent authority as part of the department’s latest administrative arrangements.
The new policy applies to all public and private educational institutions that fall under the control of the College Education Department. Colleges across Sindh are required to follow the revised weekly schedule without delay.
Officials said the notification only covers the number of working days. Separate instructions regarding daily working hours will be issued later. These upcoming notifications will explain the schedules for both single-shift and double-shift colleges.
The department has advised all institutions to wait for the additional guidelines before making changes to their daily timetables. Once issued, the new timings will help colleges implement the revised work schedule smoothly.
The latest decision comes shortly after several changes to educational schedules in the province. The government has recently reviewed school and college operations as part of its efforts to improve administration and manage educational activities more effectively.
By introducing a five-day working week, the department aims to create a uniform schedule for colleges operating under its supervision. Officials believe the change will help institutions plan academic activities in a more organized manner.
The notification makes it clear that the revised schedule will continue until the government issues new instructions. Educational institutions have been directed to ensure full compliance with the order.
College administrations are expected to inform teachers, staff, and students about the updated weekly schedule. They will also need to prepare for any further adjustments once the department announces official working hours.
The Sindh College Education Department has not yet provided details about the daily operating hours for colleges. Instead, it confirmed that separate notifications will cover institutions operating in single shifts and those following double-shift systems.
Education officials said the revised schedule is intended to improve administrative consistency across the province. They also emphasized that colleges should continue regular academic activities according to the new weekly arrangement.
The decision affects a large number of educational institutions across Sindh, including both government and privately managed colleges under the department’s authority. Institutions outside the department’s administrative control are not included in the notification.
Authorities have instructed all concerned colleges to immediately implement the five-day working week. They also advised institutions to monitor future announcements for updated working hours and any additional instructions related to the new policy.
