Federal Government Announces School Holidays for Eid al-Fitr 2025

The federal government of Pakistan has officially declared school holidays in observance of Eid al-Fitr and spring break. Educational institutions under federal jurisdiction will remain closed from March 31 to April 4, 2025. The new academic session is scheduled to commence on April 7, 2025, with all staff and students expected to resume regular duties from that date.

Regional Variations:

  • Punjab Province: The provincial government has announced a longer holiday period, with schools closed from March 29 to April 6, 2025, to accommodate the Eid celebrations. ​
  • Islamabad: In the capital city, if the Shawwal moon is sighted on March 30, Eid al-Fitr will be observed on March 31, leading to public holidays from March 31 to April 2. Combined with the weekend, this results in a five-day break for schools. ​
