Hijab part of the dress code
Explain that Islam is the largest religion in Indonesia and conservatism is increasing there with time. This is the reason why hijab has been made mandatory in the dress code of girl students in schools in Muslim-dominated areas. The special thing is that this rule is applicable to girl students of all religions. At the same time, after this incident in East Java, there is a demand to remove the accused teacher from his post.
According to media reports, even in the year 2021, many such incidents were reported in Indonesia, where girl students were punished for not wearing hijab or not wearing it properly. People who believe in six major religions live in Indonesia, so such incidents in Indonesia are pointing towards increasing religious intolerance.
