That situation is a sign of a relatively stable government — because continuous public services and regular civil‑service pay indicate functioning state capacity.

Why:
- Payment of salaries on schedule shows the government can raise/allocate revenue and manage payroll systems (fiscal and bureaucratic capacity).
- Schools open year‑round imply basic public services and infrastructure are being delivered consistently (administrative continuity).
- Consistent service delivery reduces social unrest and signals legitimacy and predictability, both markers of political stability.

Caveats:
- It’s not definitive on its own. Some authoritarian or externally funded governments maintain services despite political instability.
- Localized instability (conflict-affected regions) can coexist with national-level service continuity.
- Other indicators (security situation, functioning courts, free elections, absence of large-scale protests) should be checked to make a fuller judgment about stability.
