The Sindh Education Department has announced the resumption of on-campus education across the province from April 1. Schools, colleges, and universities will reopen, ending the temporary shift to online classes.
Provincial Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon confirmed that physical classes will restart on Wednesday. He added that Saturdays will be observed as a weekly holiday. The decision follows a temporary suspension of regular classes from March 16 to 31. During this period, institutions conducted curriculum-related activities under austerity measures.
These measures were part of a broader cost-control plan announced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in response to rising global fuel prices. The plan aimed to mitigate the economic impact of tensions in the Middle East, particularly related to the US, Israel, and Iran.
Sindh Education Minister Sardar Ali Shah stated that the new academic year will also begin on April 1. Schools will now follow a two-day weekend schedule, holding classes from Monday to Friday. Students and teaching staff are urged to adjust back to in-person learning as normal academic activities resume.
Officials emphasized that this move balances cost-saving measures with the need to maintain educational continuity. The provincial government will closely monitor institutions to ensure smooth operations and adherence to academic schedules.
The resumption of on-campus education in Sindh marks a significant step in restoring normalcy for students and staff. Authorities have highlighted that classroom learning is essential for student engagement and academic progress.
Parents and students have been advised to follow any official guidelines issued by the Sindh Education Department. The government continues to prioritize a safe and efficient transition back to physical classes while maintaining necessary precautions.
