The Punjab government has announced that the summer holidays in schools will begin from June 1, subject to rising temperatures and health concerns for students and staff.

School education secretary Khalid Nazir Wattoo indicated that the schedule could be revised if temperatures continue to rise, Express News reported.

“If temperatures rise unusually, holidays could start a week earlier,” Wattoo said. “This step prioritizes students, teachers and parents as intense heat can affect educational activities seriously.”

The decision is in the midst of growing global concerns about climate change, which continue to interfere with weather patterns around the world.

Pakistan in particular ranks among the countries that are most vulnerable to climate -related disasters.

Experts have warned that rising temperatures affect more sectors, including education, health and economics, where every year goes, witnessing more intense heat waves.

According to meteorological assessments, Pakistan faces brown of global warming and its effects are becoming increasingly difficult, affecting daily life and infrastructure.

The government has called on schools and parents to monitor updates as any changes in the holiday plan will be communicated immediately depending on developing weather conditions.

Until the holidays begin, the authorities have also been encouraged to ensure uninterrupted access to clean drinking water in schools and colleges, ban outdoor activities and instruct students to wear light, loose appropriate clothing.

In addition, PDMA has called for improved ventilation, functioning fans and cooling systems, and the establishment of first aid counters staffed with heatwave -trained staff.

Coordination with district disaster management authorities has been emphasized to ensure timely flow of information.

In addition, dry weather conditions continue over Punjab, with temperatures steady climbing when the summer heat is intensified.
