The Balochistan government has announced a province-wide ban on Punishment involving physical discipline in all government and private schools. The decision is part of a broader effort to protect students and improve the learning environment. Authorities have warned that anyone violating the new policy will face strict action.
The Balochistan Education Department issued a formal notification confirming that physical Punishment of students is no longer allowed in any educational institution across the province. The order applies equally to public and private schools.
According to the notification, teachers and school administrations found using physical discipline against students will face both departmental and legal action. The government has directed all schools to strictly follow the new instructions without exception.
Officials said the decision came after reports of students being subjected to physical punishment in some educational institutions. The department described such incidents as harmful to children’s rights and their overall development. It added that students deserve a safe and respectful place to learn.
The Education Department emphasized that schools should create an environment where students feel secure and supported. It said fear and violence have no place in modern education. Instead, schools should encourage positive behavior through guidance and respectful discipline.
School administrations have been instructed to ensure that classrooms remain free from any form of physical Punishment. They have also been asked to promote teaching methods that support students’ mental and emotional well-being.
The department believes the new policy will help build a healthier educational culture across Balochistan. It aims to protect students from physical and emotional harm while encouraging a more positive relationship between teachers and learners.
Officials said educational institutions play an important role in shaping children’s future. They added that every student has the right to study in an environment that respects their dignity and protects their basic rights.
The government also expects school leaders to monitor staff members and ensure full compliance with the new rules. Any complaints regarding violations will be investigated, and appropriate legal and administrative action will be taken against those responsible.
The latest decision reflects the government’s commitment to improving education standards and child protection. By banning physical punishment in schools, authorities hope to create classrooms where students can focus on learning without fear.
