Egypt’s Ministry of Education has announced a ban on wearing the niqab in schools, saying that female students can wear the hijab, but wearing the niqab that covers the face will not be allowed.
According to the international news organization, the ban on the niqab in schools will be applied from September 30. Which has been directed to be strictly implemented.
Egypt’s Minister of Education says that female students can wear headscarves if they want, but this will also be their own choice. Parents should also not force students who refuse to wear headscarves.
The education minister added that parents and guardians should be aware of their children’s choices and not impose their will on them.
The Egyptian Ministry of Education has instructed that teachers and teaching staff should implement the decision to ban the niqab with kindness and gentleness, taking into account the psychological condition of students.
It should be noted that there has been a debate over the wearing of the niqab in schools in Egypt for many years. One group said that veiling girls is a hallmark of the Muslim Brotherhood.
In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood was declared a terrorist organization and banned in 2013.
Human rights organizations in Egypt have criticized the decision, saying the constitution protects religious freedoms. Banning the niqab is a violation of civil liberties.
It should be noted that many public and private institutions in Egypt have already banned the wearing of the niqab. Cairo University has banned teaching staff from wearing face veils since 2015.
