Under the new schedule, schools will conduct on-campus academic activities from Monday to Thursday, reducing the traditional five-day routine.

The decision coincides with Islamabad school holidays and aims to support government efforts to save fuel and cut operational costs.

Officials have emphasized that the four-day schedule will not affect learning outcomes but will help schools run more efficiently.

All private schools have been instructed to fully implement the four-day workweek, ensuring students and staff adapt to the shorter on-campus week.

 Authorities stressed that compliance is mandatory and that the schedule will remain in effect until further notice.

Parents and teachers have raised questions about how the new timing will affect extracurricular activities during Islamabad school holidays, but officials reassured that proper planning will ensure minimal disruption.
