On the other hand, the Department of Schools Education in Punjab province is also expected to announce the winter vacations soon. As per the general tradition, schools remain closed for two weeks in December due to severe weather conditions in Punjab.
This year winter vacations in Punjab are likely to begin on December 21, with schools set to reopen on January 1. However, the final decision will depend on the prevailing weather conditions.
Punjab often experiences fog and a drop in temperature of 7 to 8 degrees Celsius during December, making it difficult for students to attend classes.
Last year, the provincial government initially announced holidays from December 18 to December 31 but later extended them until January 9, 2024.
