This year the government should announce summer vacations of schools and colleges from July to August. The reason behind this is if educational institutions will start their sessions in August, it would be quite difficult for students to take their studies seriously.
When students come back after two months, they take at least a week to settle down and return to the old routine, which was being followed two months before the vacations. The case would be different this year because students would have holidays in August with Independence Day, Shab-i-Qadar, Jumatul Wida and Eidul Fitr in the same month.
The unfavourable situation in Karachi has already made the future of students unpredictable. Therefore, in order to think of a good future and moving towards the positive side, studies should continue till the end of June. However, an ideal decision should be taken by conducting surveys in different schools and colleges to know the choice of majority of learners.
Such a decision will be far better than just imposing a decision without knowing students’ will.
