KARACHI: The Sindh government announced on Wednesday that summer vacation for schools in the province would begin on June 1 and continue till July 31.

“In pursuance of the decision taken in the meeting of steering committee on education, held on February 12, 2026, the summer vacation for all public and private educational institutions under the administrative control of School Education and Literacy Department, government of Sindh shall be observed with effect from June 1, 2026 to July 31, 2026 for the academic session 2026-27,” a notification issued by the Sindh education department said.

At the start of this week, Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat announced a three-month-long summer vacation for schools in his province.

Last month, schools in Punjab were advised to alter working hours or declare early summer holidays due to excessive heat, which has prevailed over parts of the country over the past few weeks.

The Punjab Disaster Mana­­gement Authority had issued urgent directives to educational instit­utions and district admi­nistrations across the province in view of a heatwave.
