Male Teachers Ban in School of Girls: PEF Bans Male Teachers in Girls’ High Schools Across Punjab

New Policy Mandates Female-Only Teaching Staff

The Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) has introduced a new directive prohibiting male teachers from teaching girls in high and higher secondary classes at its partner schools. According to reports from City42, the policy mandates that only female teachers be appointed in girls’ schools, with immediate effect.

Strict Compliance Required

PEF has issued official instructions to all partner schools, warning of strict action against institutions that fail to comply. Officials stated that the presence of male teachers was negatively impacting the learning environment for female students, prompting the decision to ensure a safer and more comfortable academic setting.

Immediate Implementation Ordered

Schools have been directed to remove male teachers from girls’ sections and replace them with female educators in accordance with the revised policy. The foundation emphasized the need for swift compliance to align with the new regulations.

Debate Over Educational Environment

While the PEF asserts that the change will improve the learning atmosphere for female students, the decision has sparked mixed reactions. Supporters argue that it promotes gender-sensitive education, while critics question the necessity of such restrictions in co-educational institutions.
