SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Education Minister Sakina Itoo on Thursday stressed the need to create a safe, secure and comfortable atmosphere for students in educational institutions across the Union Territory.
Speaking at an event held at SKICC Srinagar, Sakina Itoo said faculty members and educational institutions must treat girl students like their own daughters and sisters to ensure they feel protected and respected.
“Our faculty members should first treat your children like their daughters and sisters. Parents should feel confident when sending their children to educational institutions,” she said.
The Minister said Jammu and Kashmir has historically been known for its values and culture, but emphasised that everyone must work collectively to strengthen trust and safety within educational spaces.
She further said that students, especially girls, should feel comfortable and secure in institutions without any sense of fear or insecurity. “We all will have to work together so that our precious children feel safe and protected in educational institutions,” she added. (JKNS)
