Revised schedules are demanded by schools until January 31.

The chairman of the All Sindh Private Schools and Colleges Association (ASPSCA), Hyder Ali, has publicly asked for schools to start later, pointing out that everyday life has been negatively impacted by the terrible weather, especially in Sindh’s remote areas.

The Chairman convened an urgent meeting of the Private Schools Steering Committee to finalize a new academic calendar and suggested a start time of 9:00 AM.

He asked the education minister of Sindh to formally enforce these updated schedules through the end of the month.

He also insisted that a standard exam syllabus and paper specifications be released right away.

He underlined that there is not much time left before exams start, so decisions on admissions, exam schedules, and future holidays must be made quickly as the academic semester draws to a close.

Following Thursday’s rainfall, Karachi saw a sharp drop in temperature, and the Meteorological Department has released a new forecast warning of a protracted cold spell in the city.

Residents were taken aback by the change in the weather, as temperatures dropped precipitously after rain and chilly winds in the city.

A new cold wave is predicted to last for over a week, according to officials, and the city’s temperature may drop to single digits in the early morning and evening.

Residents reported feeling as cold as four degrees on Thursday due to wind chill, with other regions seeing temperatures as low as six degrees. Daily routines have been impacted by this abrupt transition, particularly for outside workers, children, and the elderly.

Karachi is not the only place affected by the cold weather. Rain and snowfall in mountainous areas have interrupted daily activity in many sections of the nation.
