DAMASCUS, Syria -- Syria has banned the face-covering Islamic veil from the country's universities. The Education Ministry's ban on the niqab comes as similar moves in Europe spark cries of discrimination against Muslims. An official at the ministry says the ban affects public and private universities and aims to protect Syria's secular identity.
However, Aljazeera reported that the officials claim the ban has nothing to do with the latests bans of Niqab in Europe, according to Aljazeera the official claims the main reason for the ban is to maintain the integrity of the education system especially the examination process because some students wear Niqab only during the exams so they can easily cheat.
