KARACHI: The Government of Sindh recently announced winter holidays for public and private schools and colleges across the province.

Sindh Education department’s steering committee decided that the schools and colleges will remain closed for winter vacations from December 20 till January 1, 2022.

A notification to this effect will be issued after approval from Education Minister Sardar Shah. A SLED official told education reporters that the meeting was informed that the holidays could not be extended since the curriculum had been changed and increased for the ninth and tenth classes under the new scheme of studies.

As per sources, the decision on winter vacations has been taken because of fears of the Omicron variant emergence.
