In anticipation of the holy month of Ramadan 2024, private schools across Lahore, Punjab, have adjusted their schedules to better accommodate students observing fasts during this sacred period. The decision aims to facilitate a conducive learning environment while considering the spiritual needs of the students.
Starting March 12, 2024, all private schools in Lahore will open their doors at 7:30 am, with variations in closing times depending on the grade levels. The new schedule, applicable from Monday to Thursday, ensures a harmonious balance between academic commitments and religious observances.
Revised Timings:
- Play Group: 7:30 am to 11:00 am (Monday to Thursday), 7:30 am to 11:00 am (Friday)
- Nursery-Prep: 7:30 am to 11:45 am (Monday to Thursday), 7:30 am to 11:00 am (Friday)

This proactive adjustment in school timings is a collective effort to ensure that students can fully engage in their educational pursuits while honoring the spiritual significance of Ramadan. The decision reflects the thoughtful consideration by school authorities to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all students during this blessed month.
The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, chaired by Maulana Muhammad Abdul Khabir Azad, is set to convene in Peshawar to sight the Ramadan moon, with expectations that the holy month will commence on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. This initiative underscores the commitment of Lahore’s private schools to harmonize education and religious practices, fostering a holistic and nurturing educational experience for their students.
