The District Education Officer (ڈسٹرکٹ ایجوکیشن آفیسر) has announced long winter vacations for Murree due to severe cold weather. A formal notification (باضابطہ نوٹیفکیشن) has been issued confirming that all government and private schools will remain closed from December 22 to March 7. This means educational institutions in Murree will stay closed for a total of 76 days.
ڈسٹرکٹ ایجوکیشن آفیسر نے موسم سرما کی طویل تعطیلات کا اعلان کر دیا۔ اس کے لیے باقاعدہ نوٹیفکیشن بھی جاری کر دیا گیا ہے۔ ڈسٹرکٹ ایجوکیشن آفیسر نے اعلان کیا ہے کہ مری میں سرکاری اور پرائیویٹ اسکول 22 دسمبر سے 7 مارچ تک بند رہیں گے، اس کے علاوہ سرکاری اسکول اور کالج بھی 76 دن کے لیے بند کردیئے گئے ہیں۔
Schools and Colleges to Remain Closed
According to the notification, this decision applies to both government schools (سرکاری سکول) and private schools (نجی سکول), as well as colleges. The closure is specific to Murree because of its extreme winter conditions. Authorities want to ensure the safety and health of students during this long and harsh winter season.
Reason for Extended Winter Holidays
The main reason behind these extended winter vacations is the intense cold and snowfall in Murree. Due to severe weather (شدید سرد موسم), daily travel becomes difficult and risky for students. Keeping this situation in mind, the education department decided that students should stay at home to avoid health problems.
تمام سکولوں کو ہدایت دی گئی ہے کہ چھٹیوں سے پہلے امتحانات مکمل کریں۔ نصف سالانہ امتحانات کے نتائج تعطیلات سے پہلے جاری کیے جائیں گے۔ طلبہ اپنے نتائج دیکھ کر چھٹیوں میں بہتر تیاری کر سکیں گے۔
Instructions Regarding Exams and Results
School heads have been directed to complete mid-term examinations (نصف سالانہ امتحانات) before the start of winter vacations. The results (نتائج) of these exams will be announced before the holidays so that students can review their academic progress without delay.
