Great news, students of Punjab! Summer vacation is here a little earlier than expected this year. To keep everyone safe from the scorching summer heat, the Punjab government has announced an update to the school calendar.
Here’s the scoop:
- Originally, summer vacation was scheduled to begin on Saturday, June 1st, 2024.
- Due to the heatwave, schools will now close earlier, starting on Wednesday, May 25th, 2024.
- Schools will reopen on Thursday, August 15th, 2024.
This means you get an extra week of summer fun to enjoy! But there’s a small exception. If your school is currently holding exams, they can stay open this week to finish them up.
Why the Early Start?
The Punjab government cares about your well-being. With temperatures rising fast, they decided it’s best for students to stay cool and safe at home during the hottest part of the day.
So What Now?
Get ready for some splish-splash fun! Here are some ideas to make the most of your extended summer vacation:
- Beat the Heat: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and cooling off with refreshing drinks like lassi and lemonade. Don’t forget to wear light, comfortable clothes and sunscreen if you go outside during the day.
- Catch Up on Zzz’s: Sleep in a little later and recharge those batteries. You’ll be ready to learn again when school starts back up.
- Family Time: Games nights, movie marathons, or picnics in the park – spend quality time with your loved ones.
- Explore Punjab: Is there a historical site you’ve always wanted to visit? Maybe a hidden gem in your own city? Punjab has so much to offer – explore it with your family!

Remember: Even though school’s out, it doesn’t mean learning has to stop! Read a good book, do some puzzles, or watch educational shows. Keep your mind active and curious!
