Official Notification Issued for Extension in Winter Holidays for Schools and Colleges

The School Education Department (SED) and Higher Education Department (HED) in Punjab have extended the winter holidays for all public and private schools until January 9, 2024. This decision aligns with the Lahore High Court’s directive to prolong the holidays.

Schools and colleges, both public and private, are mandated to reopen on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, resuming regular classes and marking the beginning of a normal school week for students. Throughout the extended vacation, COVID-19 safety measures, particularly the wearing of face masks within school premises, will remain in place to ensure the well-being of students.

The extension aims to provide relief for students while prioritizing safety, with Chief Executive Officers of District Education Authorities directed to ensure strict compliance with the orders.
