The Punjab School Education Department has officially extended the summer vacation for all public and private schools across the province. According to a notification issued on August 7, 2025, the holidays will now continue from August 14 to August 31, with schools scheduled to reopen on Monday, September 1, 2025.
This decision follows the approval of the Competent Authority and is a continuation of the department’s earlier notification dated May 20, 2025. The extension applies to all educational institutions under the School Education Department’s jurisdiction.
The notification instructs all Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of District Education Authorities (DEAs) to ensure strict compliance with the revised schedule in both letter and spirit.
This official confirmation comes a day after the department had denied the authenticity of a fake notification that had been circulating online, falsely claiming an extension of summer vacation.
At the time, the School Education Department clarified that no such decision had been made, and that any official updates would be communicated through proper channels.
The new notification clears the confusion and confirms that the summer break will now continue until the end of August. Schools will resume with full academic schedules on September 1.

Fake lag raha hai Signature change hain
So unfortunate….playing havoc with the Education…. Instead of creating facilities to beat the heat ,our governments have the simplest of the solution… Shut school,shut brains and shut sensibility 😡😡
Shukr kro chitiyan mil rhi, aj kal school janay ko kis ko Dil krta
What is this government trying to accomplish? They are destroying the future of this country.
Wah maze
Is this really true???
School walon ko fees mill rhi hai or Kya chahiye un ko .Bachon ka future tabah.
3 month abhi chutian… then december january phir chutian…. baqi 3 months… mid final aur result me lag jate…. to sekhne ka time sirf 4 month hai bachon k pas…. chution ki fee maf karen… humen koi issue nahi… itni mehnat se ek ek rupya kamate hain… per kya faida… 5 5 hazar fees do k bachon ka future bane ga… per wo kese bne ga jab koi routine nahi hai…
I guess it’s a fake news.
This is not the way to play with the future of our young generation…… Colleges are open n the purpose behind close of schools is beyond common understanding.
If government want to close the school please return our heavy fees…we pay our electricity bills because in this summer we stay home and stay safe from heat…Thanks and think….
Devastating
Including all these seasonal breaks and public holidays, students hardly make upto school half a year
I think that you should extended summer vacation holidays as flooding can come whenever it wants and for the safety of children
Kindly Also urge govt to have clear stance on sumer holidays fee collection. Pvt Schools are demanding fee of holiday months
Shame on the educational system of Pakistan….
To all those boomers commenting here, yeah the kids will surely get PHD if they don’t go to school for these 12-13 days. Get a life.
fr they pmo like go work in office or smth
ان لوگوں کو لگتا ہے اتنی گرمی میں سکول جا کر بچے کشمیر فتح کر لیں گے۔ اچھا نہیں ہے کہ امتحانوں کی تیاری کا وقت مل رہا ہے؟ 15 دن سکول جا کر بچے دنیا فتح کر لیں گے؟؟؟
so if this was true, why the department called it fake. have you seen pattern of calling true things fake now a days
Good
