Today, I read about BBC news. I read news about Al-Madina Muslim free school changes headscarf rule The Muslim Al-Madinah free school opened in September 2012.
                One of the other concerns raised in the letter was that women and girls were being treated less favourably than men and boys.  If you look at the tradition of Islam, it has a very  history and heritage of female scholarship - both religious and in the field of science, languages and mathematics. Mr Burhaan said head scarves were the code of dress adopted by the school. The government had told the school to write to all female members of staff telling them they did not have to wear a hijab if it was in conflict with their religion or beliefs.
                I think the government should give women hijab because it is a religious belief.  Although the women wear hijab, they can work or study.
