“I used to be clear sufficient in writing. Youngsters are to not be despatched residence for any breach or perceived breach of any faculty’s coiffure rule. And any particular person so doing ( sending kids residence) will face disciplinary proceedings,” Manickchand wrote on her Fb web page.
“The Minister and Ministry have been clear on this difficulty: kids are to not be despatched residence due to any breach or perceived breach of any coiffure rule. Faculties are reminded,” it stated.
The statements comply with a report on social media indicating {that a} scholar from South Ruimveldt Secondary College had been despatched residence due to her coiffure.
In January, the Ministry of Training issued a memorandum stating that learners should not be despatched residence over perceived coiffure breaches. Headteachers had been reminded that their important precedence is to make sure all learners are at school and are being taught with the goal of decreasing any additional studying loss.
Additional, the memo warned that in any occasion of a learner being deemed to have an inappropriate coiffure, the college should invite his or her father or mother or guardian to debate the perceived infraction.
The Ministry of Training has stated that it has no coverage regulating hairstyles in faculties; guidelines have been created by the colleges themselves.
