Punjab’s SES Teachers Association (SESTA) has proposed that parents who fail to enroll their children that are over the age of 5 in schools must be given prison sentences of up to six months.

The association has requested the government to monitor the children in every family, while urging government officials to enroll their children at schools, and recommending salary cuts for violations.
