Will schools in Punjab reopen on 1 September 2026?

Schools in Punjab province, Pakistan, are expected to reopen on August 24, 2026, after the summer break. Despite speculation about a possible extension due to the ongoing monsoon season, there are currently no indications from the Punjab government to prolong the holidays. Last year, the summer vacations were extended until August 31, 2025, primarily due to heavy monsoon rainfall and flooding. However, with no major flood threat forecasted for 2026, schools are anticipated to resume as per the original schedule, though the final decision rests with the Punjab government.
