FDE changes spring break schedule for Islamabad schools and colleges

FDE changes spring break schedule for Islamabad schools and colleges

The Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) faces backlash over its erratic spring vacation schedule for Islamabad's schools. Initially slated for April 1 to 7, the FDE declared spring break from April 8 to 12, with the new academic session beginning on April 15.

Critics, including teachers, question the rationale behind the sudden change, especially as it overlaps with the anticipated Eidul Fitr holidays.

Teachers stress the importance of a break after the academic year ends on March 31, emphasizing the need to recharge for the upcoming session.

Expressing dissatisfaction, a female teacher highlighted the disconnect between FDE's decisions and the academic community's needs, calling for a regular Director General appointment to improve governance.

Stakeholders urge FDE to reconsider its decision and adhere to the original vacation schedule.

The confusion and discontent among educators underscore the necessity for transparent and consultative decision-making processes within the education sector.
