Oct 14, 2025

Schools & Colleges to Remain Closed

In a key update for students, parents, and teachers, the District Education Authority (DEA) in Jhelum has officially announced that all schools and colleges — both government and private — will stay closed on Monday, October 13, 2025.

The decision comes after a joint consultation between the Deputy Commissioner Jhelum and the education officials, citing “security and administrative concerns” as the main reason behind the closure. In simple terms, the authorities want to make sure everyone stays safe amid the current law and order situation in the region.

Official Notification Issued by DEA Jhelum

The CEO of the DEA Jhelum has issued a formal notification stating that all types of educational institutions across the district — including private academies — will remain shut for one day.

The statement also mentions that this is just a precautionary measure, and if things settle down, classes are expected to resume from Tuesday, October 14. However, this is still subject to any fresh instructions from higher authorities.

Instructions for Schools and College Staff

Heads and principals of schools and colleges have been asked to do the following:

Inform students, parents, and staff right away about Monday’s closure.
Make sure school buildings and property are secured during the day off.
Stay in touch with their respective education officers for any further updates.

They’ve also been reminded to follow safety SOPs even when the campuses are closed — just in case anything changes last minute.

What the Punjab Government Says

With the news spreading quickly on social media, many people started assuming the closure applies to the entire province. That’s not true.

The Punjab School Education Department (SED) has clarified that this order is specific to Jhelum District only. All other districts in Punjab will continue classes as usual on Monday.

So, if you’re outside Jhelum, your school or college will most likely remain open.

When Will Schools Reopen?

If the situation stays calm, schools and colleges in Jhelum are expected to reopen on Tuesday, October 14. Authorities are keeping a close eye on things and have said they’ll send out another update if anything changes.

Students and parents should keep checking:

Official WhatsApp groups

For Parents and Students

Here’s a quick summary of what you need to know:

No school, no college, and no exams will be held on Monday, Oct 13 in Jhelum.
