New Directive for Enhanced Workplace Facilities

The Punjab School Education Department has issued a significant directive, mandating the construction of separate restrooms for female staff in all its offices. This move aims to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for women in the workplace.

Dedicated Restrooms Across All Institutions

In a recent circular, the department instructed its affiliated institutions to ensure the provision of restrooms exclusively for female employees and visitors. These orders apply to key entities like the Punjab Textbook Board, Quaid Academy, and Directorate of Public Instruction (DPI) offices for both secondary and elementary levels.

Comprehensive Coverage of the Directive

The mandate also extends to facilities such as the Directorate of Monitoring and the Science Museum, ensuring comprehensive compliance. By prioritizing the comfort and needs of women, this initiative underscores the department’s commitment to gender-sensitive infrastructure.

Empowering Female Staff Through Better Amenities

This step is being hailed as a progressive measure, reflecting the department’s efforts to foster a more conducive work environment for women. Female employees have long advocated for separate restrooms to address privacy concerns, and this initiative is a welcome response to their needs.
