As of February 1, 2024, schools in Punjab are set to return to their regular schedules as the winter timings, implemented by the provincial education department from January 8, will conclude on January 31.

The government has directed all public and private schools to adhere to standard hours, operating from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on weekdays and from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Fridays until the end of January.

The interim government’s decision to adjust school timing for the winter season is part of a broader effort to manage seasonal changes. In a recent notification, authorities confirmed the resumption of regular timing, providing clarity for both educators and students across the province.

“In continuation of this department’s notification of even No. dated January 8, 2024, the timings already notified are hereby extended until January 31, 2024, in all public and private schools across the province. The schools shall resume regular timings from February 1, 2024,” the notification said.

“All Chief Executive Officers (DEA) in Punjab and Heads/Principals of Public and Private Schools are directed to ensure compliance in letter and spirit,” it added.
