Punjab Private Schools Adjust Academic Calendar Ahead of Ramadan

October 14, 2026 • 45 minutes ago •

LAHORE: In a significant decision, all private schools across Punjab have announced the commencement of the new academic session one month earlier, starting from December 1, in anticipation of the holy month of Ramadan, which is expected to begin in February.

This move comes as many private educational institutions aim to accommodate the changes in daily routines that Ramadan brings. The Punjab Education Department has supported this initiative, emphasizing the importance of adjusting the academic calendar to ensure that students can observe the fasting month without the added pressure of regular school hours.

The adjustment in the academic calendar is expected to have a positive impact on students and their families, allowing for a smoother transition into Ramadan. This decision reflects a growing trend among educational institutions to prioritize the cultural and religious practices of their communities, fostering an environment that respects and acknowledges the significance of Ramadan.

Looking ahead, schools will implement this new schedule and monitor its effectiveness. Parents and students are encouraged to prepare for the upcoming changes, and further announcements regarding school activities during Ramadan are anticipated in the coming weeks.
