The winter vacations in Punjab ended on Tuesday as studies are set to resume in schools across the province on Wednesday, January 10.

The District Education Authority in Punjab has also issued revised timings for school effective from Jan 10.

According to new timings, schools operating in single-shifts will start classes on 9:30am till 1:00pm.

Likewise, schools working in double shifts will begin the first shift from 9:30am till 1:30pm while the evening shift’s classes will be from 1:45pm till 5:30pm.

It is pertinent to mention that the caretaker Punjab government decided not to extend winter vacations for schools a day earlier.

“Due to the ongoing winter wave, schools will resume on 10th Jan, 2024,” Naqvi said in a post on X, erstwhile Twitter, on Monday. “From 10th to 22nd Jan, schools will start at 9:30 am.”

The vacations were extended till January 9 owing to extreme cold conditions in the province.

However, the provincial government decided against further extension in the vacation which means the schools are set to open from tomorrow
