Eid-ul-Fitr holiday
Take extra initiatives to make up loss caused by long school holidays
Due to the holy Eid-ul-Azha and the summer vacation, all educational institutions in the country have fallen into the trap of a long holiday. This year, combining Eid-ul-Azha holidays with the summer vacation, students have been given a continuous 19-day break. However, for primary schools, the holiday duration is a bit longer, with students enjoying leave from June 3 to June 23. Before that, due to the holy Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, and various other occasions, students had already enjoyed continuous holidays ranging from 40 to 50 days. Moreover, after Eid-ul-Fitr, the SSC exams began, and due to exam seating, many schools had to suspend regular classes during that time. This year, there was also a delay of about three to four months in receiving new textbooks. In short, students have barely had any substantial study time in the first half of the year.
