The Sindh government has officially announced a public holiday for all educational institutions on Friday, February 14, 2025, in observance of Shab-e-Barat. This declaration, issued by the Sindh Education Department, applies to all public and private schools, colleges, and universities across the province.

According to the official notification, academic activities will be suspended on the 15th of Shaban, allowing students, teachers, and staff members to participate in religious observances. Shab-e-Barat is considered a night of forgiveness and divine blessings in Islamic tradition, with many people engaging in prayers and seeking spiritual enlightenment.

This decision has been welcomed by students and faculty members, as it enables them to observe the occasion without academic interruptions. The move aligns with the government’s recognition of key religious events and its commitment to facilitating cultural and religious practices.

Educational authorities have advised parents and students to check with their respective institutions for any specific updates regarding the holiday. Normal academic activities will resume the following working day.
