Sindh government reverses six-day school week policy
Most outlets reported that the Sindh government reversed its earlier decision to implement a six-day school week, restoring a five-day academic schedule with extended teaching hours on weekdays. While the core policy change was consistently highlighted, some outlets, such as *Samaa* and *Dunya News*, emphasized the restoration of Saturday holidays and the extension of daily teaching hours. Others, like *The Express Tribune* and *Dawn*, led with the return to a five-day week and the reversal of the previous directive. A few, including *ProPakistani*, also noted the extension of the policy to colleges, which was not universally mentioned across all excerpts.

Balochistan schools to operate six days a week
Most outlets reported the reinstatement of a six-day academic week for schools in Balochistan, noting that both public and private institutions will now operate from Monday to Saturday.

The framing was largely consistent across outlets, with minor variations in emphasis on the scope (public vs. public and private) and immediacy of implementation.
