MYSURU: School and college teachers who wear hijab have been taken off SSLC examination duty and they will not be drafted for the upcoming II PU examinations too, according to the state government.
Primary and secondary education minister BC Nagesh confirmed to TOI that there is no dress code for government employees. “However, as hijab is not allowed inside the examination hall for students. Hence, to be morally right, we are not forcing teachers who insist on hijab to take up exam duty. Such teachers are relieved from the exam duty,” he said.
