KP Clarifies Viral Summer Vacations Extension Notification

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Elementary and Secondary Education Department has issued a cautionary statement about a fraudulent social media post regarding an extension of summer vacations across the province. The department clarified that the circulating notification is false and emphasized that students, parents, and educational institutions should disregard it when seeking information about the summer vacation timetable.

The fabricated document alleges an indefinite extension of summer breaks in all public and private schools within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's summer region, with schools set to reopen on September 1. The department urged the public to rely solely on the official social media channels and communication platforms of the Elementary and Secondary Education Department for any updates.

The warning was prompted by the fake notification's resemblance to official communications, including the department's branding and formatting, which could deceive recipients into believing its authenticity. The department strongly advised all stakeholders to cross-check any information before sharing or acting upon it.
