The educational institutions working under Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) will start new academic year of Class I to 10 from today (Monday).

The students, after spring vacations, are well prepared to join schools again with a renewed commitment to perform well this time and show good results.

Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) Model Colleges Director Mujahid Zameer told this agency that the FDE has rescheduled the commencement of the new academic year and now the academic session would start in April and end in the month of March with annual exams.

In the previous schedule, the students were facing problems, as they had to appear in the exams during the scorching heat of May.

“It was very difficult for the students to prepare themselves for exams during summer heat coupled with loadshedding. The recent schedule has facilitated the students, as the exams were held in normal season,” Mujahid r said.

Like every year, FDE is providing free textbooks to the students from Class-I to 10. The printing of books has been completed according to the requirement and has been sent to all the institutions.

The books will be timely distributed among the students in their respective institutions, he said.
