SECRETARY SCHOOL EDUCATION Ensuring Quality Education with Optimized School Timings in Punjab: The updated school hours aim to enhance teaching efficiency, student learning, and overall academic performance by ensuring structured schedules for both students and educators. The Punjab government’s focus on professional development for teachers, academic planning, and co-curricular activities is a step towards improving the quality of education in public schools. Parents, teachers, and students must take note of these new school timings to avoid any inconvenience. The District Education Authorities (DEAs) have been instructed to monitor and enforce the revised schedule across all schools, ensuring smooth operations. Schools with separate boys’ and girls’ sections may adjust their opening and closing times by 15 minutes, as per local requirements. Stay updated about Latest Government Notifications!
