Some school heads are playing fashion police, but there is no directive from the department about any design.

Another teacher, at a school in the same town, was told teachers should wear only navy or black masks.

“I know this is not the case. I have not seen a single circular from the department on the dress code relating to masks, but I am afraid to speak up - so I have now ordered navy and black masks,” she said. A Durban teacher said the school’s principal told teachers the department had sent a directive which said masks with slogans or religious symbols were not allowed.

National Professional Teachers’ Organisation of SA provincial chief executive Thirona Moodley said: “Principals who have given such an instruction [not allowing certain masks] must be challenged as there is no such directive from the department. The mask is to serve only one purpose, that is to protect the person and those around you.”“Most people are making their own masks at home, so there cannot be a directive on the style and pattern of it.

“I would think that teachers should be allowed to wear whatever masks they want, as long as it is not offensive. It should not have foul language or insult someone else’s beliefs.”
