LAHORE – The Punjab Higher Education Department has submitted a summary to Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz regarding the winter holidays for colleges.
Reports said the department has proposed that the winter break for colleges begin on December 26.
The summary suggested that colleges should have a shorter break compared to schools, to minimize disruption to educational activities.
The final decision on college holidays will be made after the chief minister’s approval, and the official notification will announce the duration and exact dates of the holidays.
