ISLAMABAD: The federal education ministry has declared Saturday as working day in all the federal educational institutions for the current session.

In a letter addressed to Federal Directorate of Education, the Ministry has also declared to revoke the annual winter vacation for remedial classes to make up the learning losses.

Meanwhile, Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education and Inter Board Committee of Chairmen have been asked to put off the examination schedule for two weeks.

The ministry has asked the institutional heads to plan and design strategies for an optimal academic management to minimize the students’ learning losses and make them cope with the academics pressure in reduced timelines without compromising the standard.

It also asked the educational institutions to use assessment of students after reopening of educational institutions as bench mark to design course and pace of teaching-learning plans.
