"In light of the current weather conditions and flood relief operations, we cannot risk the safety of our children. This one-week extension will ensure that travel is safe for everyone once the situation normalizes," the minister's statement read.
Advice for Students and Parents
The directive applies to all public and private schools and colleges throughout Punjab. Parents and students are advised to stay updated through official channels and take necessary safety precautions during this period.
Students are encouraged to use this additional time for revision and preparation for the upcoming academic session. EduSite will continue to provide educational resources and updates as the situation develops.
