French authorities have decided to ban the hijab in public schools starting September 4. The news was given by the Minister of Education, Gabriel Attal, who underlined that the government has decided that the hijab can no longer be worn in schools.

"When we enter a classroom, we should not be able to identify the religion of the students just by looking at them," the minister said. 

France strictly bans religious signs in state schools and government buildings, arguing that they violate secular laws. The headscarf has been banned in state schools since 2004, the BBC writes.

France has implemented a strict ban on religious symbols in schools since the 19th century, including Christian symbols such as large crosses, in an attempt to curb any Catholic influence from public education.

The debate over Islamic symbols has intensified since a Chechen refugee beheaded teacher Samuel Paty, who had shown cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad to students, outside his school in a Paris suburb in 2020.
