The Punjab government has officially announced early summer vacations in Punjab schools due to the ongoing severe heatwave across the province. This decision has been taken to ensure the safety and well-being of students amid the soaring temperatures.
According to the latest update by national media, Punjab’s Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat has confirmed that Punjab school summer holidays 2025 will now begin earlier than initially planned. The summer break, which was originally scheduled to start from June 1, will now commence from May 28, 2025.
Revised School Timings Before Punjab School Summer Holidays 2025
To minimise students’ exposure to the extreme heat before the summer break officially begins, the Punjab government has also revised school timings with immediate effect. As per the announcement, all public and private schools will now operate from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM until May 27, 2025.
The Education Minister made this announcement through his official social media channels, highlighting that the change in schedule has been made solely to protect students from heat-related illnesses during this intense weather.
The current weather conditions in Punjab have reached dangerous levels, with temperatures soaring well above normal. Given the health risks associated with heatwaves—especially for young children—the education department decided to take preventive action by both shortening school hours and starting the Punjab school summer holidays 2025 earlier.
What Parents and Schools Need to Know
- New Summer Vacation Date: May 28, 2025
- Revised School Timings Until May 27: 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM

This proactive step by the Punjab government has been widely appreciated by parents and educators alike. It not only reflects concern for student health but also shows the administration’s responsiveness to changing climate conditions.
As summer vacations in Punjab schools are now officially starting earlier, parents are advised to plan accordingly and ensure children stay hydrated and indoors during peak heat hours.
