Woman Says She Was Barred From Exam Hall Over Her Natural Afro
A woman has shared how she was allegedly prevented from entering an examination hall because she wore her natural hair in an Afro. She said a lecturer described her hair as inappropriate, distracting and a nuisance, even though she had not broken any academic rule. She was eventually asked to find a scarf to cover her hair before she could write the exam. The incident has renewed debate about standards that label natural African hair as untidy or unprofessional in schools and workplaces. Should students and workers be required to alter or cover their natural hair to be accepted?
