Background
Initially, schools in Sindh were scheduled to reopen on August 1, 2024. However, due to intense heat and the possibility of heavy rains, the Sindh Education Department extended the summer break until August 14, 2024. Today marks the first day back after this extended holiday, with schools across the province returning to normal academic routines.
