Will Punjab Schools Remain Closed Until May 10?

The Punjab School Education Department has dismissed a fake notification circulating on social media, which falsely claimed that all public and private schools in the province would be closed from May 8 to May 10, 2025.

On Tuesday, the department addressed the issue via its official Facebook page, posting an image of the fabricated notice with “Fake News” stamped clearly in red. Authorities urged the public not to fall for or share such false information.

The counterfeit notice, dated May 7, 2025, misleadingly stated that schools would be closed for three days, while international examinations such as O-Level and A-Level would proceed as planned. It also included the names and designations of education officials in an attempt to make the document seem authentic.
