Nikab-denial in Østfold – Aftenposten

The ban will apply only in teaching situations. Covering his face in public areas such as canteen and library is fine, writes Fredriksstad sheet.

– In all teaching situations; lectures, practice situations or situations that test exam we believe that out of professional assessments are not justifiable with full face garments. It is due partly to the pupils are entitled to a learning outcomes when studying with us. Shall we meet the learning outcomes, we believe that it is not appropriate to use garments category nikab in our teaching situations, says Rector Hans Blom at Østfold University College.

The Board of School adopted the new guidelines, which will apply from next autumn, last week. The rules only apply to new students.

– We have a few students who use nikab today. For those few students this applies, we will work to resolve it in the best possible way. We will have a dialogue with them, says Blom.

One of the students involved, says to NRK that she is surprised by the decision and that she considers quitting.

– The first I did when I started there was to inform that I’m going to take off the niqab during exams, ie identify me. There has never been a problem for either me or college, says Leyla Hasic.
