Sindh schools, colleges to have six-day work weeks from Aug 1

The Sindh government announced that schools and colleges in the province will transition to a six-day work week starting August 1, 2026, replacing a previous five-day schedule. The decision, issued by the Sindh Education and Literacy Department and the College Education Department, aims to implement austerity and fuel conservation measures amid the economic impact of the US-Israeli war on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz closure.
