As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, the Punjab government has revised school timings across the province to better accommodate students, teachers, and staff observing fasts. The new schedule will ensure that academic activities continue efficiently while providing relief during fasting hours.

Revised School Timings

According to the official notification, the updated school schedule for Ramadan 2025 is as follows:

  • Single-shift schools: 7:30 AM – 12:00 PM (Monday to Saturday)
  • Double-shift schools:
    • Morning shift: 7:30 AM – 11:30 AM
    • Evening shift: 12:30 PM – 4:30 PM

These adjustments will apply to both public and private educational institutions in Punjab for the entire duration of Ramadan.

Why the Change?

The decision to modify school hours was made in consideration of:

  • The well-being of students and teachers fasting during the holy month
  • Ensuring that academic productivity remains high despite shorter school hours
  • Allowing students to return home earlier for rest and religious observances

Implementation & Compliance

All schools in Punjab must adhere to the new schedule. Authorities have urged institutions to strictly implement these timings to facilitate a smooth transition during Ramadan. Schools are also encouraged to maintain a supportive learning environment, considering students’ reduced energy levels due to fasting.

Final Thoughts

The adjustment in school hours reflects the Punjab government’s commitment to balancing education with religious practices. Parents and educators are advised to stay updated with any further announcements that may be issued during Ramadan.
