In Islamabad, the schedule of summer vacations has become a matter of controversy between the Federal Ministry of Education and the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE). FDE issued a notification for summer vacations (from June 10 to July 31), which caused the confusion among students and parents. Because of the contradiction in the statements, an FDE official declared the new notification regarding vacations as fake. The Ministry of Federal Education proclaimed the notification authentic.
The students and parents are confused because of these two conflicting statements. To remove the confusion, a new notification has been provided regarding the dates for summer vacations (from June 10 to July 31). The Secretary Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training mentioned that summer vacations for all the educational institutions of the Federal shall commence again from June 10, 2024, until July 31, 2024. According to the new notification, the schools and colleges shall reopen on August 1, 2024.
