With this announcement, teachers will have a lower amount of workload so they can do their duties efficiently as compared to only one vacation policy.

Minister Hayat remarked that the transition to a five-day teaching week from Monday to Friday will allow Saturdays to be solely dedicated to teacher training sessions.
