It’s that time of the year again! The School Education Department Punjab has officially announced the summer vacations in Punjab schools for 2025, bringing a wave of excitement among students and relief for teachers. As temperatures begin to soar, this break offers much-needed rest and protection from the intense heat.
According to the final notification, all public and private schools in Punjab will observe summer holidays starting from June 1, 2025, and will continue until August 9, 2025. This decision was made to ensure the health and safety of students and staff, as extreme weather conditions pose serious risks during school hours.

| Event | Date |

| Start of Holidays | June 1, 2025 (Sunday) |
| End of Holidays | August 9, 2025 (Saturday) |
Why This Break Matters?
Due to rising heatwaves and unpredictable climate changes in Pakistan, the education authorities have taken a precautionary step. This extended summer vacation aims to:
-
Protect children from extreme temperatures
-
Prevent heatstroke and health complications
-
Ensure a safer learning environment post-summer
A spokesperson from the education department stated that if temperatures rise unexpectedly in late May, the holidays might be announced earlier. Parents are encouraged to stay connected with official announcements through school portals or government notifications.

Climate Concerns Behind the Decision
Pakistan is listed among the most climate-vulnerable countries, and recent years have seen unpredictable and intensified heat spells. With student welfare in mind, educational authorities are focusing more on preventive actions rather than reactive ones.
Final Note for Parents
Stay alert for any last-minute changes. Make sure your children stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activities during peak heat, and enjoy the holidays safely at home.
