France will ban students from wearing hijab and abaya in schools
The Ministry of Education in France has announced plans to start banning students from wearing the hijab in the country's schools.
Just when it was about to go back to schools in parts of France, the media reported the Minister of Education, Gabriel Attal, as saying that female students will be prohibited from wearing Abayas, which are mostly used by Muslims to cover their bodies.
According to the minister of French education, under the laws created since the 19th century, they do not allow the use of any form of religious or cultural expression in the country's schools.
The Ministry of Education has stated that the prohibition will apply to the use of Hijab or a small box that covers the head or large abaya dresses that cover the body of women.
After the decision of the French authorities to ban students at all levels from using any kind of scarf or veil that covers the head in 2004, in 2010 the country enacted a law prohibiting the use of the niqab or veil that covers the face, except in this time it is seen that the issue will cause problems.
Until now, there are 5 million Muslims in France and a large percentage of them are natives of the country.
In an interview with TF1 TV, the Minister of Education of France, Gabriel Attal, argued that it is not necessary for a teacher to enter a class to teach a lesson and to recognize the religion of students just by looking at them.
This action comes after months of debate about the attempt to ban Muslim students from wearing the Abaya and the warrior after the Hijab was banned from the beginning.
