Mangalore, April 27, 2012: St. Aloysius College has banned the burqa in classrooms and has also published the rule in its prospectus.

According to the first condition in the general rules and regulations section in the prospectus of under-graduate courses, students must be dressed neatly and girls are not allowed to wear burqas in classrooms and exam halls.

 

 

A. M. Narahari, the registrar of St. Aloysius College, said that the college doesn’t mind its girl students wearing burqa on the campus and corridors, but they are expected to remove it in classrooms and in exam halls as the lecturers find it difficult to relate to burqa-clad girls in classrooms. Moreover, students have to mandatorily show their faces in exam halls, he added.
