In Makhachkala, school registers girls wearing hijabs, Dagestani advocate reports

In one of the Makhachkala schools, a social trainer asked parents of the pupils to fill in a questionnaire for a social passport of the form, which, apart from questions about family members and need for intra-school control, included a point entitled "Girls in hijabs". This was reported by Ziyautdin Uvaisov, an advocate of the Dagestani Bar Association "Justice".

On September 20, the information came to the SMS-service of the "Caucasian Knot".

The questionnaire consists of 11 points. Most of them are devoted to the composition of the family: whether a child is an orphan, whether parents have divorced and whether they pay appropriate attention to the child. Two points are formulated to find out the need for intra-school control over a child. The point 11 is entitled as follows: "Girls in hijabs".

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that earlier, Russian educational institutions made decisions to ban hijabs. In particular, the complaints about the above ban were filed by students of medical college in Nazran, the Volgograd State University and the Medical Institute named after Pirogov in Moscow. The ban was also imposed in schools in the Rostov and Astrakhan Regions and the Stavropol Territory.
