The Punjab Department of Special Education has announced that all special education institutions across the province will now observe Saturday as a holiday. This means students and staff will now have a two day weekend with both Saturday and Sunday off. The decision has been made to support the well being of students and to allow families more time for rest care and daily routines. This step shows the government’s focus on improving the learning environment and providing better support for children with special needs. A longer weekend can help students return to school feeling fresh and ready to learn.
Many students in special education require additional care and support outside school hours. A two day break helps maintain a healthy routine and provides families with more flexibility. The decision also aligns these institutions with the regular holiday pattern followed by many other educational sectors.
