The KP summer vacations schedule has been officially announced by the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Department of Education in response to the ongoing heatwave. As outlined in the Summer vacation notification 2025, both public and private schools across the province will follow separate vacation timelines based on their regional zones.
KP Summer Vacations for Summer Zone Schools
According to the Summer vacation notification 2025, the summer zone — which includes the plains areas of KP — will observe the following schedule:
- Primary Schools: Summer holidays from June 1 to August 31, 2025
- Middle, High, and Higher Secondary Schools: Summer break from June 15 to August 31, 2025
This staggered schedule is aimed at easing academic pressure while considering regional temperatures.
KP Summer Vacation Schedule for Winter Zone Schools
In the winter zone areas, which are typically cooler and located in the hills, the KP summer vacations will be observed as follows:
- All levels of schools: Summer holidays from July 1 to July 31, 2025
This shorter break accounts for the milder weather in those regions during June.
Summer Vacation Notification 2025 Covers Public and Private Institutions
The Summer vacation notification 2025 is applicable to all government and private educational institutions in their respective zones. School administrators and parents are advised to ensure alignment with the official dates issued by the education department.

To minimize students’ exposure to extreme heat, revised school timings have also been implemented in KP. Until the start of the KP summer vacations, all schools will operate on the following schedule:
- 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM
These temporary timings aim to ensure student safety while allowing academic continuity.
