The government modifies the hours of schools.

According to the announcement, Punjab schools would stay open from 7:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. on Fridays, with regular classes ending at 11:45 a.m.

As a result, the notice stated that double-shift schools will continue to operate throughout the province from 7:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and from 12:45 p.m. to 5:15 p.m.

The provincial education department had earlier declared that, due to an extraordinary cold wave, the winter school schedule would be altered, with classes starting on February 15 and ending on April 15.

Regular classes for boys in the provincial capital and neighboring cities were scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. during the extreme cold wave, while classes for girls were scheduled from 8:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.
