In Karnataka, Muslim exam invigilator suspended for wearing Hijab

Amid the raging controversy over Hijab, an exam invigilator has been suspended in Karanataka for wearing a hijab to the Karnataka SSLC exams.

As reported by Maktoob, Noor Fahima was the invigilator at the KTSV School in Bengaluru.

After the verdict of the Karnataka High court, school authorities have barred students from wearing hijab inside school premises, however, there is mention of teachers in the order.

This happened on a day when Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister B C Nagesh said the wearing of the hijab would not be allowed during the Class 10 examination of the state board.

“After the High Court order, we’ve not allowed that (hijab). We’ve given clarification that they (students with hijab) can come into the campus wearing the hijab but they cannot put it on in the classroom. The same condition will apply during the exams,” Nagesh was quoted by Maktoob.
