LAHORE: Amid outcry from private schools against prolonged vacations, the Punjab government announced further seven-day school holidays because of scorching heat on Monday.
Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar announced the holidays in a post on X. The minister shared a notification, stating that all the public and private schools would remain closed from May 25 to 31.
