Punjab schools to reopen on April 1

Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat said on Monday that schools across the province would reopen beginning April 1.

In a statement, the education minister said that the notification — widely being circulated on social media — about the schools remaining open for four days was fake.

“Educational institutions will remain open five days a week,” the education minister said, adding that the classes would be in-person and ruled out a hybrid mode of education.

This is a developing story and is being updated with more details.
