Due to extreme weather conditions in Punjab, all public and private schools will now reopen on January 10, extending the winter break from the previously scheduled end date of January 3, 2024.

According to a notification issued by the Punjab Education Department, all the public and private schools would now reopen on January 10 after the winter break.

“All schools (private and public) shall reopen on Wednesday 10th January 2024 resuming a full/normal week for all classes. However, the restrictions regarding wearing of face mask within school premises shall remain intact,” read the notification.
