The Steering Committee of the Sindh Education Department on Thursday set the dates for this year’s winter holidays for educational institutions across the province.

A spokesperson said that both government and private schools and colleges in Sindh will be shut from 22 to 31 December for the seasonal break.

“All educational institutions will reopen on January 1,” the spokesperson said.

He further added that supplementary examinations conducted by the education boards will continue as per their pre-announced schedule and will not be affected by the winter vacation.

The schedule came days after the Punjab government had announced winter vacations for all schools across the province.

The notification, issued by the provincial education department, stated: "Winter vacation in all public and private schools across the province of Punjab shall be observed with effect from December 22, 2025, to January 10, 2026.”

All schools are set to reopen on January 10, 2026, marking the restart of the academic term, the notification added.
