In the wake of a heatwave alert issued by the Punjab Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), reports about changes in school timings have been making rounds on the internet. A notification, widely circulated online, claimed that the Punjab government has revised school timings for the summer season due to the extreme heat across the region.
The notification, issued by the Literacy and Non-Formal Basic Education Department, stated that school classes will be from 7:30 am to 11:30 am without any break. The new schedule, effective immediately, applies from Monday to Saturday. However, it’s crucial to note that these changes are specifically for schools operating under the Non-Formal Education Management Information System.
