Sindh issues new dress code for teachers to promote professionalism and discipline in schools. The new rules focus on proper attire, ethical behavior, and creating a respectful learning environment.
New Dress Code Rules for Male and Female Teachers
Male teachers must wear formal clothing. T-shirts and jeans are not allowed, as they do not meet professional standards.
Female teachers should wear traditional outfits. The guidelines ask them to avoid excessive makeup, high heels, and heavy jewelry. These rules aim to keep the school environment professional and culturally respectful.
Strict Rules on Conduct and Discipline
The new code of conduct is about more than just clothing. Teachers cannot smoke or use tobacco in schools. The department has banned gutka, naswar, mawa, and similar products to keep schools healthy.
Teachers must not ask students to do personal tasks. This rule helps students focus on learning.
Physical punishment is not allowed. Teachers must treat all students equally and fairly.
Clarifications on the Guidelines
Some teachers have raised concerns about these rules. Officials have explained that they are recommendations, not strict bans. The department created these guidelines after talking with teachers, legal experts, and civil groups.
The goal is to improve professionalism and discipline without putting too many restrictions on teachers.
Action Against Ghost Teachers and Hiring Reforms
The government is also taking action against ghost teachers—those who get paid but do not come to work. Authorities have found thousands of such cases and started disciplinary action. More than 1,000 ghost teachers have already lost their salaries.
To improve hiring, Sindh will recruit teachers based on merit. This will help schools get qualified educators and improve education across the province.
The Sindh Education Department remains focused on professionalism, accountability, and discipline in schools.
