Student unions: Comprehensive code of conduct needed: PM

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday said that a comprehensive and enforceable code of conduct was needed before student unions were restored across the country. Taking to Twitter, he said that the government will establish a code of conduct which will be comprehensive and will imbibe learning practices from internationally reocgnised universities.

"Universities groom future leaders of the country & student unions form an integral part of this grooming. Unfortunately, in Pakistan universities' student unions became violent battlegrounds & completely destroyed the intellectual atmosphere on campuses.

"We will establish a comprehensive & enforceable code of conduct, learning from the best practices in internationally renowned universities, so that we can restore & enable student unions to play their part in positively grooming our youth as future leaders of the country," he tweeted.
