A Cape Town school is reviewing its hair policy following protests by pupils who said that the current rules are racist.
Pupils expressed outrage, in August, after they were allegedly ordered to plait their “untidy” hair or face suspension for violating the school’s hair policy. Hammond said the school caretaker – a governing body appointee – would face a disciplinary hearing regarding the alleged comments.According to Hammond, the school was currently reviewing its policy.
“Schools should review their codes of conduct periodically to ensure that they achieve their purpose in line with the Constitution, while taking into account ongoing discussion on what codes of conduct should require.”
