School Students in Pakistan to Get 2 Holidays This Week

Islamabad: After a long summer break, schools across Punjab have recently reopened, but students now have another reason to celebrate—an extended weekend with two consecutive holidays this week.

The federal and Punjab governments have officially declared Saturday, September 6, 2025, a public holiday in observance of Eid Milad-un-Nabi (12th Rabi-ul-Awal). Since Sunday is already a weekly holiday, students will enjoy a two-day break right after resuming regular classes.

Schools Reopen After 90-Day Break

Most government and private schools across Punjab resumed physical classes on September 1, 2025, following a 90-day closure. However, not all schools were able to open their doors, as flood-hit districts are still facing difficulties.

Authorities confirmed that:

• Schools in Lahore and major cities have reopened as scheduled.
• Around 45 schools in flood-affected areas remain closed due to infrastructure damage or their use as relief camps.
• Local administrations have been directed to prioritize student safety while coordinating with ongoing rescue and rehabilitation efforts.Also readFlour Prices Hit All-Time High Across Pakistan – Families Face Record Surge

• Spend time with family and communities in cultural and spiritual observances.
• Enjoy a two-day weekend (Saturday and Sunday) before returning to regular classes.
