Punjab Extends Winter Vacations with Official Notification

“Punjab Extends Winter Break for Schools and Colleges”

The Punjab caretaker government has officially prolonged the winter break until January 9, 2023, encompassing all public and private schools and colleges in the province. The notification from the Punjab School Education Department (SED) confirms the extension, citing the department’s earlier notification dated December 1, 2023.

All schools are scheduled to reopen on January 10, 2023, resuming normal classes. The notification emphasizes the mandatory requirement of face masks within school premises.

This decision aligns with Lahore High Court (LHC) directives to extend the winter holidays due to the severe cold wave and prevailing smog conditions in Punjab.
