No Extension in Winter School Holidays in Punjab! Schools Set to Reopen January 8
Any last-minute updates from the government regarding changes or adjustments in school timings remain a possibility.
Punjab School Winter Vacation Holiday Extension Latest News Today: Punjab schools are gearing up to reopen on January 8, 2025, as no official confirmation regarding an extension of the winter holidays has been received from the state government. Amid the lack of an official announcement, several schools have already begun informing parents about the reopening through direct messages.
Initially, the Punjab government had declared winter vacations for all schools in the state until December 31, 2024. However, due to the cold wave and harsh weather conditions, the holidays were extended by a week, with schools set to reopen on January 7, 2025. This extension was widely welcomed by parents and schools alike, considering the safety and health concerns of students during extreme weather.
Speculation about a further extension arose as similar measures were taken in neighboring regions, such as Chandigarh, where revised school timings were introduced. The Chandigarh administration implemented online classes for students up to Class VIII, while physical classes for senior students were delayed to begin no earlier than 9:30 AM.
The ambiguity over whether Punjab schools would follow suit with another extension persisted until now. With the absence of any directive from government officials, schools are proceeding to reopen as scheduled.
Parents across the state had been waiting anxiously for clarity. While some welcomed the decision to resume classes, others expressed concerns about the ongoing cold wave and its impact on children's health.
As schools reopen tomorrow, parents and students are preparing to resume regular academic schedules. Meanwhile, any last-minute updates from the government regarding changes or adjustments in school timings remain a possibility.
