Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) Education Department has introduced a groundbreaking policy to address privacy concerns and promote women’s empowerment in girls’ schools. The department has taken action in response to complaints received through the citizen portal, leading to a ban on photography during school programs.
This new directive not only seeks to protect the privacy and dignity of female students but also encourages the active participation of women in various school events. To facilitate this, the department has mandated the inclusion of women officers as chief guests in all school functions, ensuring a supportive and inclusive environment for the students.
Additionally, the KPK Education Department has made it clear that no individuals, including parents and attendees, will be allowed to take pictures during these events. This measure aims to create a secure and comfortable space for students, respecting their right to privacy and their educational experience.
This proactive step by the KPK Education Department demonstrates its commitment to providing a conducive learning environment for girls while promoting gender equality and women’s involvement in educational activities. It is a significant move towards achieving these goals in the region’s education system.
