In anticipation of the scheduled General Election on February 8, unverified reports are circulating about a nationwide closure of educational institutions for eight days starting from Sunday, February 4, and extending through February 11. This closure encompasses Kashmir Day on February 5 and the election period from February 6 to 10, with plans to resume regular activities on February 12.
While officials have not officially confirmed these reports, the decision is yet to be finalized. Previous reports hinted at the closure of educational institutions in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from February 7 to 9 during the general elections. It is now reported that officials have concluded the decision, with an official announcement anticipated in the first week of February.
Local authorities may consider extending holidays based on evolving circumstances. Advertisements on social media platforms are promoting this information, though the unconfirmed nature of the reports raises questions about their accuracy.
The potential closure aligns with election-related logistics and aims to ensure a smooth electoral process. With two expected public holidays in February—Kashmir Day on February 5 and General Election Day on February 8—this reported decision underscores the authorities’ efforts to manage educational schedules in light of the upcoming significant events. As the situation develops, the official announcement will provide clarity on the status of educational institutions during this period.
