Some of the comments that came up on social media were:
” We strongly condemn. In Pakistan, the FDE on Monday asked female teachers not to wear jeans and tights, and banned male teachers from wearing jeans and t – shirts. This is a serious violation of basic human rights and women’s rights. “
“Given the general state of affairs in the country, all the priorities of this government are insane. The Federal Directorate of Education is issuing a dress code for male and female teachers.”
” We’m still busy telling men and women what to wear. While other parts of the world are trying to create spaces of thought, artificial intelligence and cloud – based applications, the Federal Directorate of Education is releasing a dress code for male and female teachers.
“In our society, the dress code does not prevent bad thinking of men and teenagers. So keep those Taliban thoughts to yourself. We grew up in the same country where you treated young people badly. “
