Topic Reading-Vol.1892-6/16/2017

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Norway to ban face veils in all schools
Ones’ tradition may not be always accepted in other places, and sometimes by law.
Wearing a hijab, a veil that covers the head and chest, or burqa, enveloping clothes to cover nearly the entire figure in public, is a long-kept tradition for many Muslim women, even among world-class athletes, politician like Benazir Bhutto and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai.
Now, Norway is going to ban wearing of any full-face veil or mask in any educational institution in the country. Why? The advocates say they want to encourage students and learners to communicate with each other more and better. For Muslim women, wearing this traditional garment is a symbol of modesty and privacy.
It sounds highly controversial, isn’t it? What about in your place?
Enjoy reading the article and think how teachers and students distinguish one from others in the classroom if all the girls wear a face-covering veil.
