The Punjab Caretaker Chief Minister, Mohsin Naqvi, has officially declared the commencement of winter vacations for educational institutions across the province. This announcement was made on Thursday, November 30th, 2023, and has been widely anticipated by students and faculty alike.
Schools and colleges in Punjab are set to enjoy a winter break starting from December 18, 2023. The exact end date of the vacation period was not specified in the provided context. This decision comes as a relief to many, as it allows families to plan their winter holidays and gives students a much-needed respite from their studies.
Alongside the announcement of the winter vacation, Chief Minister Naqvi also addressed the environmental concerns in the province. He confirmed that due to improved air quality, there would be no smog-related restrictions over the upcoming weekend.
Before the winter break begins, it has been clarified that schools and colleges will remain open on Friday and Saturday, ensuring that educational activities continue without disruption. This allows institutions to wrap up any pending academic work and conduct necessary assessments before the holidays commence.
