Punjab School Education Department Prioritizes Female-Friendly Infrastructure

Separate Restrooms for Women in All Offices

In a progressive move, the Punjab School Education Department has instructed all subordinate offices to construct separate restrooms for women. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance the working conditions for female employees and visitors.

Who Will Be Affected?

The directive covers all institutions under the department, including the Punjab Textbook Board, Quaid Academy, DPI Secondary and Elementary offices, and even the Science Museum. These entities are required to comply with the new orders promptly.

Enhancing Workplace Comfort

By creating dedicated restroom facilities, the department aims to provide a secure and comfortable environment for women. This step addresses longstanding concerns about the lack of privacy and appropriate amenities for female staff.

A Commitment to Gender Inclusivity

This policy highlights the department’s dedication to fostering an inclusive workspace. It also signals a commitment to ensuring that female employees and visitors are treated with dignity and respect in all interactions within the department’s premises.
