In September 2022, 313 reports of violations of the principles of secularism were noted by the National Education. The Minister of Education is following the case and has renewed his confidence in the directors.
Barely out of class, two young cities put on their veils on Thursday 13 October. Below, they wear an abaya, a long robe covering the legs and arms. Teenage girls say it’s not a problem for them in high school. For them, it is not a religious sign but a cultural one. If the abaya is singled out, it’s because the numbers have been climbing for a year. In one month, there were 313 reports of violations of the principles of secularism in 59,260 establishments. 54% relate to signs or clothing of a religious nature.
