According to PEF officials, the presence of male teachers was negatively affecting the learning environment for female students.
They warned that strict action would be taken against any school that violates the policy. Officials said the decision aims to ensure a safer and more comfortable academic atmosphere for girls.
The PEF has also instructed all partner schools to immediately remove male teachers from girls’ sections and make fresh appointments in line with the revised policy.
