Islamabad: A university in Pakistan's Punjab has introduced a new dress code for its students. The dress code came into force a few months after Pakistan's Central Directorate of Education issued a directive in this regard. The notification says that boys are not allowed to wear shorts, cut-off jeans, multi-pockets, faded, light torn jeans and trousers or T-shirts with any kind of message.
The notification issued by Toba Tech Singh Sub Campus of The University of Agriculture, Faisalabad also seeks to ban wearing any type of vest, long hair and ponytail, earrings, wrist straps including slippers, bandanas, hats. Girls have also been banned from wearing T-shirts with jeans, sleeveless shirts, see-throughs and skintight clothes. At the same time, the girl students will also be banned from wearing attractive jewellery, anklets and wearing heavy makeup.
Earlier in September, the Central Directorate of Education (FDE), which looks after educational institutions in Islamabad, had directed women teachers not to wear jeans and to ban men from wearing jeans and T-shirts. At the same time, FDE had asked the heads of educational institutions to follow their teaching and non-teaching staff dress codes and personal hygiene, including regular haircuts, beard trimmings, nail cutting and perfume use.
