The Karnataka government is considering giving a second chance to students who have missed their board preliminary exams or college exams during the hijab controversy. The government is likely to extend help to those students who could not appear in the examination, however, those who boycotted the examination will not be allowed the same facility.
While the final call is yet to be taken, the Karnataka government told the high court, that it cannot “schedule at random”. The Karnataka Law Minister reportedly said that if the students voluntarily boycotted the exam, the government is not ready to help them re-appear. ,
Karnataka Chief Minister B Bommai told news agency ANI, “All students should follow the HC order. Your education is very important.” He also said that “It is a question of the fate and education of our children. Education is more important than anything else.”
Earlier, a section of students who were asked to wear hijab to sit for the exam in a separate room refused to take the exam. Some students also protested and demanded that they should be allowed to wear headscarves.
The students had claimed that they wear hijab daily but asked them to sit in a separate room as it was discriminatory.
Now, when the Court has ruled that headscarves are not allowed in educational institutions, students who skipped exams before the ruling could get an extension in the exam.
Over eleven days, a full bench of Justices Ritu Raj Awasthi, JM Khaji and Krishna S Dixit heard the arguments of students from Udupi and Kundapura that they were not allowed to wear hijab (a Muslim headscarf) while attending class. should be allowed. On 16 February, the Karnataka government issued a circular citing the High Court’s interim order directing all schools and colleges under the Minority Welfare Department not to allow hijabs, saffron stole and scarves in classrooms.
