Punjab issues new dress code for male, female teachers

LAHORE: In a recent educational development, Punjab’s School Education Department has issued new guidelines for teaching faculties across Punjab, including Lahore.

According to the notification, a new dress code has been implemented by the education department. In the notification, the teachers are advised to dress properly to maintain a professional atmosphere in schools and colleges.

According to the notification, male instructors are not allowed to wear jeans and t-shirts, and female teachers in Punjab are now expected to wear “shalwar kameez and a dupatta.”

The Zuhar prayer must also be arranged during school hours, according to instructions given to all schools.

Earlier, Karachi University implemented new dress code guidelines as students are no longer allowed to attend classes in immodest or revealing attire.

The public university in the country’s largest city has called for a respectful and modest atmosphere on campus. A recent notification instructs students to wear clean, modest clothing appropriate for the academic environment.

Those wearing revealing clothing, shorts, sleeveless or tight clothing, or shirts with inappropriate language or graphics will face action.

The recent measures are part of KU’s efforts to maintain discipline among its large student body. The university, which has more than 45,000 students, stressed that the code of conduct aims to inform all students of expectations and ensure cooperation in a respectful academic environment.
