The School Education Department (SED) of Punjab has issued an urgent advisory for all public and private schools as the heatwave intensifies across the province.
The directive instructs schools to take immediate measures to protect students and staff from extreme heat. Institutions are required to ensure the availability of clean and cold drinking water in every classroom and encourage students to drink 8 to 10 glasses daily to stay hydrated.
Schools must conduct classes in well-ventilated rooms and use fans or air coolers to improve airflow. Outdoor activities during peak heat hours are to be avoided, with students advised to remain indoors throughout the hottest parts of the day.
The advisory also stresses the need for awareness sessions on heatstroke symptoms and prevention. All schools must keep first-aid kits readily available and train staff to handle heat-related emergencies.
These measures aim to ensure the safety and well-being of students during the current wave of extreme weather. The department has directed the strict implementation of the guidelines in both government and private institutions across Punjab.

What about govt’s cruel time table, starting schools 7:15 and ending 1:30, more than 6 hours in summers. Whereas such timetable was previously issued only in winters when mid-day weather is mild and sun feels good.
You need to do a report on this too.
Gov’t never seems understanding issues that are natural.
This complaint is lodged against Punjab Govt Schools.
The Govt schools education in punjab has become much miserable after declaring two days weekly holidays. This means less than 91 days for study in year:
1-90 days summer vacations.
2-20 days winner vacations.
3-25 days Gazetted holidays.
4-104 days (two days weekly)
5-10 days sessional break holidays.
6-05 local holidays.
7-10 teachers own vaccinations.
8-10 days miscellaneous off days.
Total=274 vacations in year.
Above circumstances shows teachers avail paid 09 month vacations and no seriousness towards education of children of poor people’s of Punjab.
Teacher also are non serious for studies of children. Even from start of April, teachers begin to uploade fake vedios that Govt is seriously thinking for summer vacations early.
The PMLN supremo vision is education emergency for best learning of students. Hence, two and half weekly holidays in Govt Schools is sheer violation of the Nawaz Sharif real dream for this nation.
It is therefore emphasised to CM Punjab to reverse the decision of two days weekly holidays in Govt schools and colleges. Also requested to formulate innovative solutions for better education of students and proper teachers trainings.
