In a statement shared on social media, the minister confirmed that all schools will reopen as scheduled and that the previously adopted hybrid system will not continue. “Students should come to school and study,” he said, emphasizing that all classes will now be conducted in person.
The provincial government had earlier announced the closure of schools, colleges, and universities from March 10 to March 31 due to the global fuel crisis linked to ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Meanwhile, the Punjab government also dismissed a notification circulating online that claimed schools would operate on a four-day week. Officials clarified that the document was fake and urged the public not to rely on unverified information.
In an official statement, the government advised parents and guardians to remain vigilant and verify any such notifications through relevant departments before acting on them.
Authorities reiterated that the standard five-day academic schedule will be implemented upon reopening, ensuring a return to normal educational activities across the province.
