LAHORE: Punjab Schools Education Minister Murad Raas has hinted at another school closure but this time due to scorching hot weather.
While addressing a press conference on Friday at DGPR, Murad Raas announced that schools will be closed in wake of summer vacations after the examinations will end. He said that government is aware of the children’s problem which they are facing due to hot weather.
Murad Raas further announced that exams will be held from June 18 to June 30 while the new academic session will start on August 1. The summer vacations will be availed from June 30 to August 1.
