Amidst the persistent cold wave gripping Punjab, the Department of School Education has taken a compassionate stance by extending the revised timings for educational institutions.
A notification has been issued, dictating that schools across the province will commence classes at 9:30 am until January 31 to mitigate the impact of the severe cold weather. The decision aligns with the government's commitment not to extend holidays in educational institutions, as announced by Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi on January 8.
The revised timings are aimed at balancing the need for educational continuity while ensuring the well-being of students during the chilling weather conditions. Schools will revert to their normal hours starting February 1, allowing the academic routine to resume without further disruptions.
This thoughtful approach reflects the government's dedication to providing a conducive learning environment while addressing the challenges posed by weather conditions, prioritizing both education and the safety of students.
