Catholic church enforces ban of hijab in schools
Officials from the Mangochi Diocese of the Catholic church says the use of regalia contrary to the prescribed school uniform should not be allowed in the church-run schools.
This is an indirect reference to the Muslim gear, the hijab which has caused a rift between Muslims and the Anglican run schools at Mmanga.
In a memo to all heads of education institutions run by the church in the diocese, secretary for Education Commission Felix Masamba says the decision has been arrived at following the failure by the government, the Episcopal Conference of Malawi and the Malawi Council of Churches to communicate on the issue.
“The diocese strongly advises you to adhere to the prescribed school rules and regulations in as far as the use of school uniform is concerned,” says the memo in part.
The Civil Society Coalition for Education has since told the government to make a decisive policy on the issue.
Speaking during an annual general meeting in Lilongwe on Saturday, CSEC chairperson Moses Busher said it was worrisome that the right to access quality education is being violated.
Minister of Education William Susuwele Banda said his ministry is working with all stakeholders to come up with a policy on the matter.

Chamwini saothcera gaga, mangani zanu period. Mukuchita makani ndi zinthu zoti sizanu. go to Malamulo/ Matandani Adventist Schools, you will be forced to follow the Adventist rules. So if the Anglican and Catholics have their own rules, follow them. If you ask those who are championing the Hijaabs today, they went through the same christian schools.
Catholic church well done, we are tired of muslim hypocrisy. If a christian go to muslim school he/ she is forced to follow islamic rules, but when a muslim go christian school he wants tolerance.
go build your own barakat sch and do your nonsense there…………………………………….ma full stops
It is a well know fact that catholics worship Idols, and that they are faggots (in simple words anthu onyengana kumatako). most of their so called fathers and these bitch-nuns have AIDS now (why cant you just come-out) most of you are catholics today because back in the days you gand-fathers you could not get enrolled in a school unless they became a Christian. It is only the Brave (Muslims) that resisted this satanic church and remain Muslims. Oky, lets cut the bull-shit
This correction-fluid government should come-up with regulation as to how these private/public institutions should operate in accordance with the order of the Republican Constitution. FUCK THE GOVERNMENT.
Yeah like it is well known that Mohammad was a paedophile and his corpse eaten by pigs and dogs
I sympathize with you. You are dwelling on trivia issues
Just stick to your Islamic beliefs and let others do as they please. Can anyone please educate me on Islamic schools, if there are any. Do they allow non Moslems exercise their freedom of dress or can they allow Catholics wear rosaries?

Build your own schools and accommodate your own demand
Hijaab already in both the Bible and the Qur’an , so what is ur problem u Christians ? As u have heard that in Karonga it has been that no any woman should wear mini skirts, long slits tight garments that show their protruding batacles and hips e.t.c , that is what called “HIJAAB” in Islam, where do u go wrong my fellow Christians? ?????????????????????
Stop pretending to be a christian,you are a muslem.Most of the European countries have burned the wearing of hijabs, why?They are threat to the community because most of the suicide bombers they put on hijabs and moreover you can not differentiate a man and woman when in hijabs.Let the Christians put their rules and regulations in their schools like the way the muslims are doing in their schools.
This is like one family imposing their needs on another family. Let Moslems have their own schools and can run them the way they want. It’s that simple.
When hijab is banned in the USA on security concerns, that is normal. And when Islamic schools in Malawi ban enrolment of Christians to their schools, that is also normal. But it’s not normal for Christian schools to ban wearing of hijabs while attending education in Christian schools.

“Catholic church enforces ban of hijab in schools”
Clickbait headline which defames the Roman Catholics. The article is about Anglican Catholics.
This issue can be sorted by the Ministry of Education getting off its asp and telling the Anglicans that their anti-hijab edict is illegal, and the hijab must be allowed to be worn -(am not a Muslim!!!). Alternatively, the Muslims can go to court to overturn the illegal ban.
Has the president (sic) said anythings about this issue, which if left to fester unattended will just result in more violence? If he did then I have missed it.
SOME POINTS MISSED HERE.
First it’s not illegal for schools or any other institution to enforce dress codes on it’s subjects, that is why we have Uniform in schools. Uniform is not only linmited to Clothing, amother other things, it includes Hairsyles, Language and in some instances accessories to be used at that particular institution.
Let’s accept that Muslims are not the first and the only ones to raise issues about Dress code in schools, In Malawi this isssue started from the colonial era and we are nopt the first or shall be tha last to address it.
In this particular case, background matters, it is pointing to Proprietory previllages and surely whoever retains the Decision Making platform is the winner. In my view it’s the Anglican Church. They’ve the right to Decision making becasue whether we like it or not, the school is registered in their name. Suffice to say that the community helped to mould Bricks, i ask therefore, what does the MOU states (if any)? Is every member of that community a Muslim?
Muslims are believed to have schools of their own, do they torelate or better put allow chistian Legalia in such schools? How ‘MANY’ of Muslim schools are in this area (not to mention the nation at large) that are known to accomodate secular tenents in such schools? If we want our children to access quality education, why not build schools and transform them to institutions of Higher Learning?
Simply put, if all Chistian Institutions decide one day to withdraw children of other Religion affiliations in their schools, would the Muslim community haves sufficient capacity in their schools to accomodate their HIjab pupils? Tolerance is a 2-way process, you don’t achieve it by force!!
This is bad chapter in Malawi. We need to foster religious tolerance.
If tolerance means you should not eat the food you have ni problem with then it’s stupidity at it’s best
Let the stupid Muslim build their own Muslim schools than to be fighting the owner of the Christian schools.
You are very stupid
Hijab is just a piece of cloth, I don’t think God/Allah is worried by a woman not wearing Hijab. He looks in the heart. There are many devout Muslim women who do not wear Hijab.
Muslims do not allow Christian students to attend their schools in fear of compromising with their religion doctrines. So, Catholics are right by sticking to their demand.Takutoperani asilamu
Where in Malawi have the Muslims excluded Christian students?
And which school have enrolled a christian?
You are so right. It’s as simple as that. Let those that want hijabs go to their own schools. In that way everyone will be happy and there will be peace.
Catholics are right. Its there own schools and no one should impose their dress code on them especially if it is that hijab. Muslims just want to slowly put islamic dressing in places they are not supposed to. The Quran teaches them to “deal” with non Muslims.
Very unfortunate that we need the United Nations to pump sense into our heads and we are failing to reason within ourselves as Malawians regarding this issue.
Double standars exhibited by that UN representative. When France banned that hijab or burqa, this representative did not utter a single word. Even when Chad did the same. Why utterances now in Malawi?
Join the discussion…That UN Lady is poking nose into our affairs, better note she never spoke in her official capacity, she only made a comment and an observation, reading too seriously into hers tatement is what i call Colonial hangovers (poti walankhura ndi Nzungu). – kupusa.
Bravo Church. To hell with potential terrorists
By the way do these guys know that they were forced into this religion to avoid slavery?
I have a lot of friends who are moslems but these pipo are always brainwashed and when you ask them about their religious ideals, they will never. Goodnesd me I di not go to chutch or belong ti any exotic religion.
