PESHAWAR: The provincial government has announced an amended schedule for summer vacations for middle, high and higher secondary schools, which would start from today (June 12) instead of June 15 and continue till August 31 in the plain areas of the province.
A formal notification to this effect was issued on Sunday. The primary schools have already been closed for the summer recess from June 1. The notification stated that due to abrupt and unusual change in the weather condition, the competent authority has decided to amend the summer vacation schedule.
