The Punjab government has announced the official winter vacation schedule for all public and private schools across the province. According to the notification, schools will remain closed from December 23, 2025, to January 11, 2026, and classes will resume on January 13. Authorities have strictly prohibited any institution from altering these dates. The decision aims to protect students from severe cold weather and ensure their well-being. The government has also postponed first-semester exams, with new dates to be announced once the weather improves. This move follows earlier adjustments to school timings due to smog, as part of efforts to safeguard students’ health while maintaining educational continuity.
