Punjab schools to reopen amid freezing weather from Jan 12

  • On Saturday, the Punjab government announced a one-week extension of winter vacation for all public and private educational institutions due to severe cold and student health concerns, Rana Sikandar Hayat said.
  • Because of severe cold and health concerns, Rana Sikandar Hayat said around 87% of survey respondents supported extending holidays, while 13% favoured reopening on January 12.
  • Spokesperson figures show 154,178 votes favored reopening on 19 January versus 24,829 for January 12, and the education minister ordered chief executive officers of districts to implement the decision.
  • A viral notification was described as fake by the minister, while Rana Sikandar Hayat rebuffed rumours about an extension but later confirmed the development to Geo News.
  • This coming week will test implementation as district administrations and CEOs face immediate orders after the Punjab government announced an extension of winter vacation, originally scheduled to end on January 11, on Saturday.
