France to Ban Wearing Islamic Abayas in Schools

“Wearing of Islamic abayas prohibited in French schools,” announces French Minister of Education, Gabriel Attal.

The move aims to establish clear national regulations for school principals, as reported by Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, citing Attal’s statements.

Addressing the contentious issue that has sparked controversy over recent months due to incidents linked to this attire, Minister Attal expressed his intention to engage with school officials in the upcoming week to facilitate the ban’s implementation.
