Punjab schools to reopen from April 1

The Punjab government has announced that all educational institutions in the province will reopen from April 1.

Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat stated that schools, colleges, and universities will operate five days a week, following the regular academic schedule. He clarified that any notifications suggesting a four-day week are fake.

The minister emphasised that classes will be held physically, and the hybrid system of online and offline learning will not be implemented. “We are not moving toward online classes. Students should come to school and continue their studies in person,” he said.

This announcement comes as students and parents await clarity on the academic calendar, ensuring a return to normal classroom activities after extended closures.
