Punjab School Holidays Update: Extension Possible? Government Yet to Decide
Will Punjab Extend Summer Vacations? Parents Await Decision on School Reopening After August 15
Summer holidays for schools and colleges across Punjab are set to conclude on August 15, 2025, but parents remain uncertain as they await an official announcement on whether the provincial government plans to extend the break.
A notification issued in May confirmed that all public and private educational institutions would reopen on August 15, marking the restart of academic activities. However, reports suggest that low attendance is expected on reopening day, with schools likely to resume regular operations from August 18, following the weekend, if no extension is granted.
To date, the Punjab government has made no formal decision regarding an extension of summer vacations. Officials have indicated that any final verdict will depend on the prevailing weather conditions at the time.
