Private schools in Sindh to decide weekly working days at their own convenience, education department says

Private schools in Sindh are permitted to set their own weekly working days, while public institutions must follow a six-day schedule from August 1. The Sindh Education Department clarified that the six-day directive applies only to public schools, exempting private institutions. The policy change follows earlier austerity measures introduced in March 2026 to address economic challenges linked to the US-Israeli war on Iran.
