In response to the recent surge in temperatures and prevailing heatwave conditions, the Punjab School Education Department has announced an early start to summer vacations for both private and public schools across the province. According to a notification issued today, the holidays will now commence on May 25, a week earlier than the initially planned date of June 1.
The decision was made to ensure the safety and well-being of students amid the extreme weather conditions. The notification specifies that schools will remain closed from May 25 to June 1. However, it allows for the continuation of scheduled examinations during this period, provided that necessary precautions are taken to protect students from the heat.
This adjustment follows an earlier announcement by the Punjab School Education Department, which had set June 1 as the start date for summer vacations. The updated schedule aims to mitigate the impact of the severe heatwave currently affecting the region.
School administrations are expected to follow the new guidelines strictly and ensure all precautionary measures are in place during the ongoing examinations. The Department emphasized the importance of student safety in these challenging weather conditions.
