During the upcoming 20-day break from school, private schools are not permitted to organize winter camps. according to a directive from the Punjab School Education Department that the winter vacation will begin on December 23 and end on January 12, 2025. On January 13, 2025, schools will resume their daily activity. Private school owners asked educational directors for authorization to run winter camps to make up for unforeseen holidays and cover the uncovered syllabus.
The instruction was issued on Friday that they are not allowed to. Khalid Nazeer Wattoo who is the Punjab Secretary for School Education has denied their application for winter camps proposal and threatened severe legal actions for any private school that conducts winter camps during the winter break. Winter vacations are crucial for students' mental health, so teachers have to set up extra classes to address the unfinished syllabus after winter break.
