Full burqa will be banned in French schools

Paris. France has decided to ban girls from wearing abaya in government schools. French Education Minister Gabriel Atoll said during an interview to the TV channel TF1 that we have decided that the abaya will not be worn in government schools. Abaya is a kind of full burqa. He said that when you walk into the classroom, your religious identity should not be determined by the clothes you wear. The move comes after months of debate over wearing the abaya in French schools, where women have long been banned from wearing the hijab. France outlawed headscarves in schools in 2004 and full-face veils in public in 2010. was banned. Due to this, there is still resentment among the 50 lakh Muslim people living in France. Large crosses, Jewish kippahs and Islamic headscarves are also not allowed in public schools in France.
