Last day of school for Pakistani children as heatwave prompts early holidays
Half of Pakistan's pupils will be shut out of schools for a week as the nation takes crisis measures to lessen the effect of a series of heatwaves, officials said Thursday.
The early closure was confirmed by a spokesperson for Punjab's Education Department.
Pakistan's meteorological office has forecast three heatwaves -- one already underway and two more set to hit in early and late June.
