Saeed Ghani recently said there is very less possibility of winter vacations in Sindh this year.
The provincial minister said students have been given more holidays than usual this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, due to which schools as well individuals are suffering from academic loss.
“Therefore, there’s no question of winter vacations right now,” he said.
He added that a final decision on the matter will be taken during a National Command and Operations Centre (NCOC) meeting scheduled for late November.
Ghani’s statement comes a day after Federal Minister of Education Shafqat Mahmood convened a special meeting of education ministers to decide on an NCOC recommendation to announce early and extended winter vacations.
Since there was no consensus, a decision on the matter was deferred till next week.
