The Punjab School Education Department has denied reports about an extension of the summer vacation until August 31, 2025. A fake notification claiming this was shared widely on social media.
The false document stated that all public and private schools in Punjab would stay closed due to severe weather. However, the department labeled the notice as “FAKE” and warned the public not to trust or spread such information.
To clarify, the department posted the fake notification on its official Facebook page with a clear “FAKE” watermark. This was meant to stop rumors about the vacation extension.
Despite this, there is still uncertainty about the actual date when schools will reopen. The current summer vacation is almost over, but the government has not confirmed if schools will resume on August 15.
According to some reports, the education authorities are considering extending the vacation until August 31. This is due to ongoing concerns over extreme heat and weather conditions in Punjab.
Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat confirmed that discussions are still underway. He assured that the government will announce the final decision about the vacation soon.
The weather in Punjab has been fluctuating. While some areas have seen rain, others continue to experience hot and humid conditions. These factors are influencing the decision on the vacation period.
Parents and students are advised to rely on official sources for updates. The department urges everyone to avoid sharing unverified news related to the vacation.
The government remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of students while planning the school calendar.
