LAHORE – Students in Punjab are eagerly anticipating winter holidays to spend quality time with family and plan their vacations. The Schools Education Department has tentatively proposed the winter vacation schedule for 2024, with schools potentially closing from December 21 (Saturday) to January 1 (Wednesday). This preliminary decision is influenced by forecasts indicating a significant drop in temperatures, which could create challenging conditions for younger students.

Typically, schools in Punjab are closed for approximately two weeks during the winter months to safeguard students and staff from harsh weather and associated health concerns. Last year, the provincial government declared winter holidays from December 18 to 31, but severe cold and heavy fog prompted an extension of the break until January 9, 2023, with classes resuming around mid-January.
The expected winter vacations are designed to prioritize the safety and well-being of students, especially as temperatures are projected to fall well below average in late December. Parents and students are advised to stay alert for updates, as the final holiday schedule will be confirmed by the relevant authorities in the coming weeks.
