The Punjab government has finalized the winter vacation schedule for schools across the province, with holidays set from December 23, 2025, to January 10, 2026, according to City42. Both public and private educational institutions will reopen on January 12, 2026.
While the official notification is expected soon, the School Education Department (SED) confirmed that all institutions will follow a uniform calendar, ensuring consistency across Punjab.
A senior SED official said,
“This schedule provides necessary relief for students and teachers during the coldest part of the season.”
The winter break is a regular feature of Punjab’s academic calendar, offering students and staff time to recharge before the new academic term begins. Parents have also requested that school start times be adjusted in January to accommodate colder mornings.
