Schools across Punjab are set to reopen on August 24, 2026, following the summer vacation. According to the expected schedule, single-shift schools may operate from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, while Friday timings are expected to be shorter. The schedule is still described as expected, so parents and students should wait for the final official notification from the School Education Department.
The reopening will mark the start of regular academic activities after the summer break, with thousands of students expected to return to schools across the province. Authorities had earlier confirmed that there was no plan to extend the summer vacations beyond August 24.
