Wearing the hijab, or head scarf traditionally worn by Muslim women, and other religious symbols "is unacceptable in secular schools and violates the constitution and a new law on education," Education Minister Abdudjabor Rahmonov said.
Mengenakan jilbab, atau penutup kepala tradisional tradisional yang dikenakan oleh perempuan Muslim, dan simbol-simbol agama lain "tidak dapat diterima di sekolah-sekolah sekuler dan melanggar konstitusi dan undang-undang baru tentang pendidikan," kata Menteri Pendidikan Abdudjabor Rahmonov.
