LAHORE \u2013 As the weather turned chilly in most parts of the region, the Punjab government has made changes in school uniform policy.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the new update, the provincial administration allowed students to wear sweaters or jackets<\/a><\/strong> of any color in addition to uniforms as many parents could not get blazers and uppers for their children.<\/p>\n

The education department<\/a><\/strong> notified all schools that there should not be any restrictions on students, allowing them to wear casual sweaters and jackets.<\/p>\n

The temporary changes in uniform policy have been made for the months of January and February. Earlier, school students were required to adhere to a specific dress code.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, parents and social activists commended the decision, calling it a much-needed step as many could not afford new and expensive as economic woes mount.<\/p>\n

Schools in Punjab, Sindh, KP, and other regions are enjoying winter vacations. The schools will be reopen from the start of next month (January 1, 2024).<\/p>\n
