MULTAN: The Literacy and Non-Formal Basic Education Department (LNFBED) Monday terminated a headmistress of a school on charges of her involvement in child labour at the school.
According to education officials, the LNFBED took the action against Zubaida Kousar, the headmistress of Hamidpur Kanora non-formal school, over engaging minor students studying at the school in forced construction labour.
Reportedly, the parents and relatives of the students had protested against the headmistress for forcing their kids to work as labourers under her husband command to construct their house.
The LNFBED Multan District Education Officer Amir Razaq told The News that the department had terminated the headmistress and appointed a new one. When asked about any action against her husband, he said the department took action against the headmistress because she was engaged with the department and her husband was beyond the jurisdiction of the department. He said there was no room for any type of violence at any non-formal school due to strict laws and the department could not allow any staffer to violate basic rules.
