Paris: Ahead of the start of the new school year, the government will ban the abaya worn by Muslim women in schools, Al Jazeera reported, citing France’s education minister. Large crosses, Jewish kippahs (Jewish hats) and Islamic headscarves are not allowed in French public schools, according to the report. Abayas can no longer be worn in schools, Education Minister Gabriel Atal said in an interview with TV channel TF One, Al Jazeera reported. News media reported that the education minister said that when you go into a classroom, you cannot tell the religion of the students by looking at them. France’s 2004 and 2010 bans on the abaya in public places angered large sections of the country’s five million Muslim population. Meanwhile, the French Council of the Muslim Faith, a national organization that represents many Muslim organizations, has previously stated that the dress cannot be considered a religious symbol.
