LAHORE – The School Education Department of Punjab has announced early summer vacation for schools, starting from June 1, 2025, due to rising temperatures.

Reports said an official notification has been issued in this regard while it is not available on the official website of the School Education Department, which states that summer vacations in schools will start from June 1.

Secretary of School Education, Khalid Nazir Wattoo, informed the media that if the weather intensifies further, the current schedule may be reconsidered.

He explained that if there is an unusual rise in temperature, the holidays could begin a week earlier. This decision has been made keeping in view the health and well-being of parents, students, and teachers, as extreme heat can affect children’s academic activities, he added.

He highlighted that the effects of climate change are being felt globally, and Pakistan is not immune to these threats. Global warming has not only disrupted weather patterns but has also increased the frequency of natural disasters.

Research shows that Pakistan is among the countries most vulnerable to the devastating impacts of climate change.

Experts say the intensity of heat is increasing year by year, and it is affecting education, health and other sectors across the world.
