Controversial Haryana education minister Ram Bilas Sharma has said that male teachers who are below 50 should not opt to teach at girls’ schools in the state as girls “after a certain age need special precautions”, Mail Today reported on Friday. “Running girls schools and colleges is a very tough and responsible job for any state government. “There is no need to apply such a decision at the college level as girls’ colleges mostly have female teachers. He has written in his book Satyarth Prakash that schools of boys and girls should be different and it was followed across the country,” the minister said. We have prioritised the transfer of female professors in girls colleges and we will do the same at high and middle school level,” Sharma said.
