The Punjab Higher Education Commission (PHEC) has not imposed a ban on co-education in BS (Hons) degree programs in private colleges all over the province, unlike it was reported in the media.
Some media outlets, including ProPakistani, had reported that Punjab government has banned co-education in colleges for certain degree programs.
ProPakistani, for this news item, had cited 24News TV for the report, which was later rejected by the Punjab Government.
The government spokesperson took it to Twitter to debunk the report and categorically rejected the claim.
Azhar Mashwani, while citing Minister Higher Education Punjab, Yasir Humayun, confirmed that no such decision is taken and education institutes will continue to operate as they were.

On the other hand, Akmal Soomro, the 24News reporter who broke the news, continues to stand by his claim. In fact, he has shared a screenshot of the checklist for private colleges to corroborate the claim.
In the 28th row of the checklist, it is stated that:
Separate blocks for boys and girls. Affidavit for no co-education according to sample available in the booklet on stamp paper duly attested by Oath Commissioner.
Sir this is check list and read the column #28. pic.twitter.com/rLYtKgQgJR

Good step if implemented. No uturn pls…
I live in Pindi. I have met many students who are involved in Bacha Baazi and same s_ex acts. Most of them have no exposure to girls and have studied in boys schools only. So are you ready to create the culture of frustration throughout Punjab?. When you stop someone from doing something then in this modern age of Social Media guys will start venting out frustration online.
This is a pathetic argument. You cannot allow vulgarity to stop this act. Shame on others as well who are actually supporting this concept.
Asim, go search the term ‘incel’. You sound like one.
Punjab education ministry should focus on Education rather than on these matters. We have Religious ministry to do such acts. Also it is a joke that people are trained to work in the industry and college graduates are not allowed to talk to girls that are like 50% of the workforce in some industries. Interpersonal Communication is a major challenge for many Graduates and such actions will only worsen the situation when they will never get a chance to talk to opposite gender during Education.
They can always marry bro. Widen your horizons.
Hope this will help eliminate poverty, corruption, terrorism and mafiaism in country. I hope all elite will bring back their children from foreign countries and adapt hijab. Jokers never stop joking
So we should not do anything good in presence of the issues you mentioned?? Is something wrong with you?
Great news
Very pleased to hear this,

Bhai Nabeel tu kyun khush hai? Larkiyan tang kar rahi thein?
The country has gone down the drain. Senseless policies made with idiotic logic. Time to move out.
Nicely done. One step at a time.
Rediculous. Utter Non Sense
It is an effort to make environment better in university but until our thoughts remain same these type of things are gona harm more than providing benefit. We need to study Islam in order to improve our society. Good effort but honestly it’s hard to say that it is going to make a difference
Good news
This government’s only responsibility is “moral policing” of this nation. Focus on education instead making such absurd laws to make nation fool. Pity for those who support this mindset
Foolish decision. What message we are trying to give to outside world?
Instead of wasting money on developing character by designing updated curricula, inducting better teachers, better facilities and teacher training, why not just publish an order delaying puberty, and consider the responsibility of authority discharged?
Lol
Co education private colleges and govt. would be banned.
Government should take seriously action on this
تعلیمی اداروں میں اصلاحات کی اشد ضرورت ہے۔ یہ ادارے سائنسدانوں کی بجائے منشیات کی عادی، ڈانسرز، حیا سے عاری نسل پروان چڑہا رہے ہیں۔
کاش کہ یہ سچ ہو جائے آئے ہماری آنے والی نسل ل تباہی سے بچ جائے گی گی
