Instead, the association has proposed that schools should operate from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM so that students’ learning is not disrupted.

PSAJK President G.N Var said in a press statement, “Our students have already lost almost three months due to the long winter vacation. If we extend the summer break again, it will be impossible to complete the syllabus before exams, which are scheduled in October.”
