Web Desk: A deadlock over the school holiday calendar persisted on Tuesday as government authorities proposed a revised schedule that includes 76 days of summer vacation and 17 days of winter holidays, while stakeholders have yet to reach a consensus.
According to official sources, the government presented the proposal during ongoing consultations aimed at finalizing the academic calendar for educational institutions. However, discussions between officials and key stakeholders remain inconclusive.
