During a training session; I asked the student to show me the NOTAM that indicated Runway 34L/16R was closed. There were NOTAMs showing all the lights and approaches inoperative but nothing that advised the runway was closed. We used the Foreflight and EFB (electronic flight bag) programs to search NOTAMs. Researched the FAA FNS NOTAM search page. I found an 'On Airport Construction Graphic' which showed the closed parts of the airfield using an airport taxi-diagram but there was no textual NOTAM showing the current aerodrome status reference closed runways and taxiways. This is a critical flight safety matter and must be addressed immediately!
Flight instructor reported there was no NOTAM for a runway closure at JAN airport.
