Only Federal Educational Institutions were already observing Saturday / Sunday Holidays. Punjab and other provinces had already stopped the Saturday Holidays for schools and colleges. Due to COVID-19 the Edu Institutions closed the schools/colleges. To cover the syllabus, the Federal Government decided to open Saturday for education institutions. Now again the Federal Government Decided to keep off the Saturday. MOstly the educational institutions made groups of the students. One group attended the classes one day and the other the next day. Now the students will have to come 5 days instead of three days a week. But teachers attended 6 days a week earlier. The staff will have one day more holiday.
