00:00 Proactive steps have been taken.
00:06 This is the response from the Education Ministry over a recent controversy of students allegedly
00:11 being barred from wearing traditional attire outside of their culture.
00:15 While it did not confirm that the incident took place, the Ministry said students are
00:19 allowed to wear traditional clothes of their culture and that of others.
00:24 The Ministry also did not elaborate on what proactive steps were taken by the school involved.
00:29 In a statement, it said students can also accessorize with bracelets, necklaces and
00:35 others to complement the traditional attire.
00:39 Yesterday FMT reported on a claim from a student suggesting that her school had imposed such
00:44 restrictions.
00:47 Screenshots from the school's Parent-Teacher WhatsApp group revealed that a number of disgruntled
00:51 parents were seeking an explanation from teachers.
