Summer Holidays 2025 in Pakistan: Expected Start Dates and Heatwave Alerts
Lahore, April 28, 2025: With summer approaching, schools across Pakistan are preparing for the 2025 summer vacation schedule. The Punjab School Education Department has announced that summer holidays are expected to begin on June 1, 2025, and continue until August 14, 2025. However, rising temperatures could push the start date earlier to mid-May 2025, especially if heatwave conditions worsen.
The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) has forecasted temperatures between 40-44°C in Punjab, prompting recommendations for an early closure to ensure student safety. A final decision is pending approval from Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, with an official notification expected soon.
In Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan, schools are likely to align with Punjab’s schedule, starting vacations in early June or mid-May, depending on local weather conditions. Last year, Punjab advanced its holidays to May 21 due to extreme heat, setting a precedent for flexible scheduling.
Education officials urge parents and students to stay updated through their school’s official website or provincial education department announcements. As heatwave concerns grow, authorities are prioritizing student well-being while ensuring minimal disruption to the academic calendar. Stay tuned for the latest updates on the 2025 summer vacation schedule!
