The Higher Education Punjab has established a new policy to promote Hijab Culture in the province among the college girls. The Punjab Higher Education Minister Syed Raza Ali Gillani declared that under the new policy the girls wearing Hijab at the time of admission will be given additional five marks.
This policy is implemented for all the students of all government colleges in Punjab. The Punjab Higher Education Minister has declared this policy while presiding over a meeting of divisional directors held at Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Lahore.

“And what will the boys do? What will students of a different religion do? Why does wearing a Hijab impact grades/marks ?!,”
