Punjab Announces 24-Day Winter Vacation for Schools
The Punjab government has officially announced a 24-day winter Vacation for schools across the province. The holidays will commence on December 20, 2024, and end on January 12, 2025, with classes resuming on January 13, 2025. This decision has been made to ensure the health and well-being of students during the chilly winter season, which has brought cold waves to the region.
The announcement applies to both public and private schools in Punjab, with strict instructions issued to educational institutions to follow the official schedule. The Punjab Education Department, in its circular, emphasized that this break is crucial for students to stay safe from the extreme cold and to return to academic activities rejuvenated.
The winter holidays provide an excellent opportunity for families to plan trips and gatherings, while parents are encouraged to keep children engaged in indoor activities to maintain a balance between leisure and learning. For many students, this break will offer much-needed rest and relaxation before they gear up for the remainder of the academic year.
