FDE’s Summer Vacation Plan Ensures Balance Between Learning & Rest:

The Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) has once again taken a progressive step by structuring the summer holidays 2025 to ensure a balance between student rest, administrative efficiency, and teacher development. While students will enjoy their well-deserved summer break from 5 June to 1 August, activities like Summer Tech Boot Camps, library access, and ongoing BS/ADP programs will keep academic engagement alive.

This initiative reflects FDE’s commitment to holistic education, combining academic growth with practical exposure during off-school months. Moreover, the requirement for HoIs to manage infrastructure repairs, update HRMIS, and prepare for upcoming projects shows a focus on long-term institutional improvement.
