The Punjab provincial government has formally declared the winter holidays in Punjab in all the public and private schools in the province. As the notification says, the schools will be closed between December 23, 2025, and January 11, 2026, and the academic session will start on January 12, 2026. This vacation week is meant to provide the safety and comfort of the students in the coldest months of the year.
The move to have winter holidays in Punjab is against the backdrop of extreme weather conditions and smog that is prevalent around the months of December and January. It was emphasized that the schedule is applicable to both the government and the private institutions of learning and there is uniformity in the schedule throughout the province. The announcement has been received well by the parents and teachers since they are now able to organize family time, holidays, and rest time during this winter season.
On this break, schools will not offer regular classes but most institutions will have encouraged students to take this time to self-study and revise. Another way to make sure that the students will not disrupt the period of holidays with their academic life is to provide voluntary tasks or reading materials by teachers.
The authorities emphasized that the primary cause of the celebration of winter holidays in Punjab is to preserve the health and well-being of students. Smog coupled with cold climate may be hazardous to children and a planned break is a guarantee that they will be safe and comfortable in their homes. Schools are expected to resume normal studies on January 12, 2026, the next school term.
In conclusion, Punjab winter holidays are an opportunity that provides students with time to relax, refresh themselves and have quality time with their families besides being safe even amidst the extreme winter weather.
There are no more problems with the parents or teachers to be ready for the next break so the process becomes a well-structured and pleasant time in all directions.
