Parents of the children studying in educational institutions working under Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) have demanded an extension in winter vacations due to harsh weather conditions.
The city’s minimum temperature has dropped up to 4 degrees Celsius and it can be further dropped in the coming days according to the weather experts.
The educational institutions reopened on January 1 after week-long vacations and witnessed thin attendance as most of the parents did not send their children owing to cold weather.
Asim Shah, a parent said, “I have not sent my children to the school due to the cold weather conditions as it would be difficult for them to study in the classrooms without facility of heaters.”
The authorities concerned must extend the winter vacation for another week keeping in view the problems faced by the children and their parents.
Shaista Waqar, a mother said, it is difficult to wake up early in the morning and prepare breakfast in low gas pressure and then sending the children to schools in cold weather.
She said majority of the parents do not take risk of sending their children to their schools fearing they might suffer from pneumonia or other serious diseases in this chilly weather. The recent wave of cold weather has badly affected the routine life of the people and the school going children are suffering from cold and fever in the prevailing weather.
It is pertinent to mention here that the Punjab and Sindh governments have extended the winter vacations for the children due to severe cold wave.
