The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has given recommendation to the Elementary and Secondary Education department for the extension of summer vacations till August 31 in all the government and private schools, in light of prevailing intense heat waves over almost the entire province.
A notification issued here by Chief Minister Secretariat said that the extended summer vacation would be adjusted in such a way that the academic calendar for the current academic year would not be disturbed and, if necessary, extra classes should be taken after reopening of the schools.
