Why KP School Timings Changed
The cold season in northern Pakistan can be tough. When temperatures fall fast, children waiting early in the cold for school buses or walking long distances can suffer. To protect their health, the KP Education Department changed school hours after the winter break. These new hours start on January 16 and will stay until the weather improves.
KP School Timings
| School Level | New Opening Time | New Closing Time |
| Primary | 9:00 AM | 1:30 PM |
| Middle | 9:00 AM | 2:20 PM |
| High School | 9:00 AM | 2:20 PM |
This table makes it easier for parents and students to plan their days. Starting school later means kids avoid the coldest part of the morning.
In some districts like Mardan, Charsadda, Nowshera, and Swabi, classes will begin at 9:00 AM, and class length can be slightly shortened to fit the new schedule.

KP Cold Weather Update Across Pakistan
The chilly weather isn’t only in KP. In Sindh province, the Education Department also revised school timings. Schools there now open at 9:00 AM but keep regular closing times. This gives children extra time in the warmer part of the day before classes start.
Across Pakistan, many local governments are watching the weather closely. In Punjab, winter holidays were extended in some areas so students stay home when temperatures are lowest. Even in Sindh and Balochistan, similar shifts have been made to help reduce the impact of cold and fog on daily life.

What Parents and Students Should Know
Cold weather can affect children’s health if they spend too much time outside early in the morning. These schedule changes are meant to give kids a warmer, safer start to their day. Parents are encouraged to send children with warm clothing, and schools are allowing flexible dress codes during winter.
School officials also remind families to stay updated with local weather forecasts. Dense fog can reduce visibility, making travel dangerous, so schools may make further adjustments if needed.
