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.
“Viewing parents’ opinion and intensity of the weather, we have decided to give the holidays from this week,” he said.
The education minister said the private institutes conducting examinations would be conditionally allowed to keep them open as his ministry’s top priority was to protect students from the weather’s intense effects.
