However, the final schedule will be determined by the Punjab School Education Department (PSED) after assessing the province's weather conditions.




Impact of Smog on Winter Break Schedule

This year, severe smog in Punjab caused temporary school closures in some divisions. The government may consider these conditions when finalizing the winter holidays.

  • Schools in Lahore and Multan divisions faced closures due to smog but have now reopened.
  • Educational institutes in Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, and Gujranwala divisions resumed operations after air quality improvements.

New SOPs for Schools in Punjab:

To ensure student safety amid fluctuating weather and smog, the Punjab School Education Department has introduced updated Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). These measures aim to balance academic needs with public health concerns and ensure uninterrupted learning during challenging times.
