The first transgender school opens in Multan today. This is a piece of excellent news. The education minister of Punjab, Murad Raas vows to open schools for transgenders in all districts of Punjab. The decision was taken after the government opposed the idea of enrolling transgenders in regular schools. Why? In order to avoid probable inappropriate behavior from the other students.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
First Day of School for Transgenders by School Education Department Punjab. We have provided them everything that is required for Schooling. Dr Aithesham Secretary School South Punjab and his team have done a great job. TransEducation is the program. pic.twitter.com/pTZkfKEOYX— Murad Raas (@DrMuradPTI) July 8, 2021
Transgenders can be seen everywhere on the roads in every city. We have seen that most of them are beggars or dancers. Particularly because society does not accept them in any other form. This initiative by the Punjab Government is appreciable. It will not only allow the transgender community to grow, but it will also help in changing the minds of other sexes.
We are opening first ever Transgender School in Pakistan. Why would we deny education to anyone in our country? Our first school is opening in Multan tomorrow. We will open such schools in all Districts of Punjab InshAllah. One step at a time. Education for ALL. https://t.co/Xq19NV7yix

One thing that we would like to suggest to the government is to make sure that these schools are run as per standards. We have seen initiatives previously as well, we have seen ghost schools in Sindh and Balochistan as well, we have seen how initiatives are put into the dark after some time. We would like to request the honorable minister of education Punjab Mr. Murad Raas to please make sure that this happens, that too with a high standard.
