The Balochistan Education Department has announced a complete ban on Corporal Punishment in all public and private schools across the province. The decision has been issued through an official notification and is aimed at creating a safer and more respectful learning environment for students.
Under the new policy, teachers are no longer allowed to slap students or use sticks, canes, or any other objects to punish them physically. The ban also covers verbal humiliation, threats, and any form of mental abuse. Officials have stated that such actions will now be treated as punishable misconduct.
The Education Department said schools must maintain discipline through positive and student-friendly methods. Teachers have been instructed to adopt respectful behavior and use non-violent approaches to guide students instead of relying on physical punishment.
The move marks an important step toward protecting children’s rights and improving the overall educational environment in Balochistan. Authorities believe that students learn better when they are treated with dignity and encouraged through positive reinforcement.
According to the official notification, every complaint related to Corporal Punishment will be investigated without delay. After the inquiry is completed, the findings will be submitted to the relevant district education officer for further action.
To strengthen the implementation of the policy, all schools have been directed to maintain complaint registers. These registers will allow students, parents, and school staff to report incidents of physical or mental abuse in a proper and documented manner.
The Education Department has also announced awareness sessions on children’s rights. These sessions will be organized for teachers, parents, and students across the province. The goal is to promote a better understanding of respectful teaching practices and encourage a positive school culture.
Officials say that preventing Corporal Punishment requires cooperation from everyone involved in the education system. Teachers will receive guidance on effective classroom management techniques that do not involve violence or intimidation.
The notification also makes it clear that strict departmental action will be taken against any teacher or official who violates the new rules. Those found responsible for physical or mental abuse may face disciplinary proceedings under departmental regulations.
Education experts have welcomed the decision, saying that a supportive classroom environment helps students perform better academically and emotionally. They believe children should feel safe, respected, and motivated while attending school.
The ban applies equally to all public and private educational institutions across Balochistan. School administrations have been instructed to ensure that every member of the teaching staff follows the new policy.
The latest directive reflects the government’s commitment to improving education standards while protecting the rights and well-being of children. Authorities hope the new measures will encourage healthier relationships between teachers and students and create a more positive atmosphere in classrooms throughout the province.
