Fact Check: Has KP Announced 2 Weekly Holidays for Schools?

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Elementary and Secondary Education Department has denied circulating a false notification about closing schools on Fridays and Saturdays. This misinformation was debunked by the department after it began appearing on social media platforms, sparking confusion among students, parents, and educators about potential changes to the school week.

The false document claimed that all public and private educational institutions under their jurisdiction would be shut down for two months due to fuel conservation efforts. It added that school administrators could allow for home schooling and online classes where feasible. However, the Elementary and Secondary Education Department emphatically rejected this fabricated notification, urging everyone to ignore it as untrue. This fact-checking revelation was initially published by ProPakistani.
