The Ministry of Education (MoE) says the matter of what can or cannot be worn in schools will be taken to Cabinet for a decision to be made.
The ministry issued a press release following a statement by the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha (GHDS) that a boy on the West Coast of Demerara was made to remove his rakhi by a senior educator of a school there.
The Ministry refuted claims made by the GHDS – headed by Minister of Human Services, Dr Vindhya Persaud, regarding alleged policy changes in schools related to what can and cannot be worn by students.
