"It is a private school. We will contact the management and try to get to the truth," Education Minister Naeem Akhtar told the Legislative Assembly after Independent MLA Sheikh Abdul Rashid raised the issue.
The teacher was sacked yesterday for wearing an 'abaya' to the school.
A section of the students today staged a protest on the school campus seeking the teacher's reinstatement.
Rashid also raised the issue of two Kashmiri girl students being detained at Delhi airport while returning home from Bangladesh.

The minister replied that the girls were questioned on the basis of suspicion.
"There was some suspicion. The two girls were questioned and later, let off," he said.
Replying to a query of National Conference MLA Shameem Firdous regarding an incident yesterday where some girl students of a school were allegedly beaten up by a teacher inside a government hostel, the minister said the teacher has been put under suspension and a case registered against her.
Akhtar said the teacher seemed to be a "psychopath" who had used the stick in the most brutal manner.
"I went to the hospital today. I went to the school as well. The teacher seems to be a psychopath. She has used her 'lathi' (stick) in the most brutal way. If the police or anyone else would have done this, I do not know how many commissions would have been formed," said the minister.
Akhtar said a police case has been lodged against the teacher and a hunt is on for her.
"She has gone underground. I have spoken to the SSP and IGP. We will get to her," he said, adding that the teacher has been changing her hideouts. Police have raided 3-4 places but have not been able to arrest her.
