Ban on long hair for students to be lifted
The education minister is planning to propose to the Cabinet that students be allowed longer hairstyles, Panita Kambhu Na Ayutthaya, permanent secretary for Education Ministry said.
She said according to the new regulations, all students will be allowed to get a layered haircut.
Panita said Education Minister Phongthep Thepkanjana had approved the new regulations last Tuesday and would propose them to the Cabinet next Tuesday. Once the regulation gets Cabinet approval, it will be published in the Royal Gazette and be implemented during the 2013 academic year.
She added that Phongthep had removed the ban on students getting layered hairstyles as well as taken away schools’ authority to get their students sport a specific hairstyle.
