The Sindh government has changed school timings across the province due to an intensifying cold spell.
According to a notification issued by the Sindh Education Department, all public and private schools will now open at 9:00 am, while closing times will remain unchanged. The revised schedule will take effect from Monday and continue until January 26.
Officials said the decision aims to protect students from harsh morning temperatures as cold weather persists in many parts of the province.
In contrast, Punjab has taken a stricter measure. The Punjab government has extended winter vacations for schools, keeping educational institutions closed for a longer period due to severe cold conditions. Authorities in Punjab said the decision was made in the interest of students’ health and safety.
