Following the recent Punjab education shutdown due to border tensions, schools and colleges across the province will reopen on Monday, May 12. The decision comes after a ceasefire agreement between Pakistan and India brought much-needed stability to the region.
Three-Day Closure Ends
The Punjab government had ordered a three-day closure of all educational institutions starting Friday. This move was taken as a precaution following escalating cross-border hostilities. The shutdown affected public and private schools, colleges, and universities, as well as institutions conducting key exams.
