Tajik government bans hijab
By: Faysal
DUSHANBE, Tajikistan: Despite the fact that more than
90% of Tajikistan is Muslim, the Tajik Education Ministry has banned
girl students from wearing headscarves in secular schools.
Education Minister Abdudjabor Rakhmonov said wearing the hijab, or
head scarf and other religious symbols "is unacceptable in secular
schools and violates the constitution and a new law on education."
He expressed concern that pupils spent too much time in mosques at the
expense of their education.
"Many spend evenings in mosques and do not do their homework,"
Rakhmonov said, adding that during the holy month of Ramadan many did
not attend classes after Friday prayers.
Tajikistan is constitutionally a secular country.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
