Islamabad, Nov 2: Punjab Mandates Female Staff for Women Hostels and Schools
The Punjab Higher Education Department has launched an action plan to guarantee the hiring of female-only staff in female educational institutions throughout the province in a significant attempt to improve the safety of female students.
The goal of this program, which targets both public and private institutions, is to give female students a safe environment.
Male employees have been moved from places designated for female pupils. All educational institutions, including colleges, universities, and schools, are now required to have CCTV cameras.
Senior female officials will perform hourly checks to ensure compliance, and these cameras will keep an eye on mixed-gender workplaces throughout business hours.
Male employees are being replaced by female employees in professional training facilities, dormitories, and institutions exclusively for women. For at least 30 days, CCTV footage from these locations will be kept on file, enabling surveillance of locations that pose a risk to public safety, like dimly lit rooms or remote hallways.
Additional security measures include limiting access to female dormitories by male security guards and banning male cooks from working there. Female guards will soon be stationed inside the hostel’s perimeter instead.
All pertinent institutions and dorms have received notifications outlining these rules, which must be followed right away in order to provide a secure and encouraging study environment for female students throughout Punjab.
