It has been announced that educational institutions across the country will experience an eight-day closure during the upcoming general elections scheduled for February 8, 2024. The decision aims to facilitate the smooth conduct of polling processes and ensure the safety of students and staff members.
According to the report by Geo, the eight-day holiday period will commence on February 4 and conclude on February 10. February 4, being a Sunday, will mark the beginning of the closure, followed by Kashmir Day on February 5. The subsequent days, from February 6 to 10, have been designated as general election holidays.
As a result, schools, colleges, and universities will remain closed during this period. February 11, falling on a Sunday, will extend the closure, and educational institutions are scheduled to reopen on February 12 after the eight-day hiatus.
This decision has been made to ensure the participation of citizens in the electoral process without any disruption to their daily routines. It also reflects a proactive approach by educational authorities to contribute to the successful execution of the general elections.
Parents, students, and educational staff members are advised to plan accordingly and take note of the temporary closure to avoid any inconvenience during this period. The holiday period offers an opportunity for civic engagement and encourages the community to actively participate in the democratic process.
