The Punjab government has launched a special helpline for citizens to report any schools that reopen before the official date of September 1. This move is designed to ensure all educational institutions follow the schedule set by the education department and to protect students’ health during the hot summer months.
Through this helpline, parents, teachers, and community members can register complaints if they find a school opening early without approval. The authorities have made it clear that strict action will be taken against institutions that ignore the directive.
Officials say this step is part of a broader strategy to maintain consistency in the academic calendar across the province. It also reflects the government’s concern for children’s safety, especially considering the extreme heat during summer.
By keeping schools closed until the set date, the administration aims to reduce health risks such as heat exhaustion and dehydration among students.
The helpline is expected to improve monitoring and allow quick response to violations. It empowers the community to play an active role in ensuring rules are followed.
Education department representatives believe that with public cooperation, the directive will be successfully implemented, benefiting both students and schools.
This initiative highlights the government’s focus on effective planning, public involvement, and the well-being of students, ensuring a safe and structured return to school after the summer break.
