Winter holidays in Punjab’s educational institutions are expected to begin on December 21, and remain closed until January 10, 2027.
Educational institutions would reopen on Monday, January 11, 2027.
Dense fog, chilly winds and low temperatures often create difficulties for students, particularly those travelling to school early in the morning in winters.
The provincial government announces winter vacations each year to protect children from harsh weather conditions.
Schools in Punjab generally observe winter holidays lasting between 10 and 20 days, depending on weather conditions and government decisions.
The Punjab government announced winter vacations from December 22 to January 10, last year.
Official notification awaited
Education authorities have clarified that the expected dates are not final.
The Punjab government has not yet confirmed the dates or duration of the winter break.
The government will announce the confirmed schedule through an official notification in the coming days.
The final decision may depend on weather conditions and other factors considered by the provincial authorities.
For now, December 21 remains a possible starting date rather than a confirmed holiday.
Schools and parents are advised to follow official announcements from the Punjab education authorities for the final dates and reopening schedule.
