Co-education in BS (Hons) degree programmes in private colleges across Punjab has been banned by the Punjab Higher Education Commission (PHEC).
It has issued an order requiring all private colleges to follow the latest instructions. It has also warned them that if they do not comply with the order, their registration will be revoked.
The PHEC has issued instructions to all private institutions associated with various universities to make the required arrangements to create separate classes of boys and girls enrolled in BS (Hons) degree programmes.
It has also set a deadline for all such institutes to submit an affidavit guaranteeing that male and female students will be educated on separate campuses on February 28.
