I hope any government official is seeing this post.
====================================
I want to raise an important issue regarding winter vacations in Karachi. We all know that education is very important, but it is also a fact that real winter in Karachi starts in January not in December.
Currently, winter vacations are given from 22nd to 31st December, when the weather is still not very cold. However, in January the cold increases and many children fall sick every day due to cold weather.
So my question is: why don’t we shift winter vacations to January instead of December?
This needs to be addressed seriously by the Education Minister.
If someone thinks that 8 to 10 days off will damage a child’s future then I would respectfully say:
Please reduce summer vacations if needed. You can make summer holidays one month and continue classes in July.But please don’t put children under pressure in extreme cold.
In Punjab. winter vacations have already been extended and studies are not affected there.
So why is it that only Sindh continues regular classes during peak winter
At least the government should consider giving one week of winter holidays in January.This will not affect the academic session but it will greatly help children’s health.
Lastly I request that while planning the academic calendar for 2026–2027 please seriously consider proper winter holidays in January.This request is made on behalf of parents and students.
Children’s health should be a priority along with education.
