Female teachers would no longer be allowed to wear miniskirts to Islamic schools in the country.
This is because they could badly influence pupils of those schools, Alhaji Baba Yahya Khalid, General Manager, Islamic Education Unit hinted on Saturday.
He was speaking at a conference in Ho to deliberate on the future of Islamic Schools in the Volta Region.
It was on the theme, “The future of Islamic Schools in Volta Region: The Role of Stakeholders.”
Alhaji Khalid said Islamic values and tenets demanded that women covered their whole bodies, except the face and the palms; hence “improper dressing” could not be tolerated in Islamic educational institutions.
He said consequently, regular orientations would be given to teachers in Islamic educational institutions, so that they could impart “right values and attitudes” to the children.
“Our system is very free. Our schools are open to non-Muslims, but they must respect our tenets and dress codes while in school,” Alhaji Khalid said.
He appealed to Directors of Education to confer with Islamic Education Unit Directors on the posting of head-teachers to Islamic schools for the necessary “preparations” to be made to avoid rejection of head-teachers.
