The Saudi Education and Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC) has decided that female students will not be permitted to wear abayas, the customary Saudi women’s clothing, during examinations.
The ETEC emphasized that female students must wear school uniforms when inside examination halls, and that the uniform should conform to strict regulations as well as standards of public decency.
ETEC, originally called the Education Evaluation Authority, is a governmental body in Saudi Arabia that is in charge of designing, evaluating, assessing, and accrediting training and education systems in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.
ETEC was founded as a governmental organization in 2017 after the council of ministers’ order No. 120, and it is legally and financially autonomous, directly reporting to the prime minister.
In other news, Rana Tanveer Hussain, Pakistan’s Federal Minister of Education and Professional Training, directed last week that future university financing be linked to outcomes.
He gave these directives during his visit to the Higher Education Commission (HEC) secretariat, where the HEC chairman, Dr. Mukhtar Ahmed, briefed the Minister on the commission’s performance over the previous 20 years, the problems facing the country’s higher education sector, and the efforts being taken to promote higher education quality.

I wonder if MBS’s father King Salman bin Abdelaziz still holds the tile of ‘The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ as apparently he is unable to control his own son.
So when Jammat Islami and other Islamists going to start protests like they do against ‘infidel’ France 🇫🇷 and others?
When the liberal french state will allow the French Muslims to wear hijab u idiot
It is in examination hall where all girls are present … During exam
They will come all the way from their homes to the examination centres.
Its not just about ALL THE GIRLS IN THE EXAM HALL but u are actually banning the INSTRUCTIONS OF ISLAM (i.e. women should be in complete hijaab). And do anyone things that anything could be a better HIJAAB than ABAAYA ??
wow people like you still exist in this world. Tauba Tauba
People like you are total bitches
True but the person in the comments named Fawaz is a bitch
Waaooo. R u Muslim??
They are so called momins
They wont day
God is on their side when it comes to their own party
My dear Mr.Aziz : Yes! as a Muslim we should comply a peaceful protest against it. Actually wearing Hijab is a personal choice as well as islamic law. So it’s should be respected by the people ss its a law, and at the same timd we should leave it on their own decision, NOT forcing to take off during exams. It’s an act of atrocity in respect of a human being. Be peaceful please.
Saudi Abayas and Ththob are highly descent outfits and make all muslim Umma feel like religious, as it covers the whole physique,,,We all consider Saudi hukumah as our our Imam, please keep away from such ideas,,,
Following psudomodern practice at academic level means nothing but making this innocent generation go astray,,,
Once they quit wearing this, they will feel bothersome when going outside,,,
Halal exam become Haram exam 😂😂
Its inside the exam hall…The ladies will come in proper hijab from their homes…
Good step. Regressive abaya. Pakistan needs to learn. with these regressive things, you’re only making Muslims far from deen.
What % of women wear the abaya or hijab in Pakistan? What Islamic practises does Pakistan carry? Look at their weddings? It’s an embarrassment to Islam and to the Sunnah of the Prophet (MPBUH). Pakistan seriously lacks Islamic knowledge. Its a name sake muslim country and that’s it. How many of them really go pray thier Jumu’ah namaz?
OK moron bozo first learn English and pass IELTS than start to ruin your religion.
Inshallah Saudia Arabia will ban the abaya completely under MBS, who wants to bring SA forward into the modern era!!
Nobody asked you dick
Inshallah you will rot in hell and die like an idiot
Is it true that in Saudi Arabia , even prostitutes have to wear the abaya when working?
About time, it’s almost 2023.
Backwards dangerous ideologies.
I should stick to it ideologies and we are happy with Ours as a Muslim . So we don’t need ur idiotic thoughts
you might be happy, but there are millions who aren’t happy with these idiotic thoughts
Like your mom and your life
Ok I don’t agree with you doing this, but your comments are hilarious
Like your mom’s sticker in middle of the body and during the placenta when you were being born. She hates you, sad reality
I think the reasoning behind such a decision is to stop cheating as it’s easy to hide cheat sheets under a long clothing. It’s only inside the examination halls that the students will be allowed to remove the abaya not anywhere else. So, those who are freaking out, Relax. But then again KSA has been doing things little by little that might affect the faith of future generations negatively. Who knows? At the moment, it seems like a rational decision to create a fair environment for giving exams.
In order to represent a unique and uniform look in the class room this rule will be valid. But… the uniform should be full “Shalwar Qameez with Dupatta/Scarf”. So that Muslim Girls cen feel freely to be appeared without abaya. Otherwise… This rule should not be imposed.
