The department urged schools, parents, and students to strictly follow the new timings and stay updated with any further notifications. This adjustment comes as several other provinces have also taken measures to modify school schedules due to extreme weather.
Education officials emphasized that these measures are temporary and meant to minimize health risks while maintaining regular academic activities. Students are advised to dress warmly and avoid unnecessary travel during peak cold hours.
This move reflects KP’s proactive approach to balancing education and student safety during unpredictable winter weather.
