SAHRC in Eastern Cape holds inquiry into school uniform guidelines

The South African Human Rights Commission in the Eastern Cape is holding an inquiry into the Right to Basic Education and the Regulation of School Uniforms.

Participants include various civil society organisations like Sibanye LGBTI, Access Chapter 2, the Commission for Gender Equality, the Eastern Cape House of Traditional Leaders and the SA Hindu Maha Sabha.

Issues to be explored include whether the perceived over-regulation of the appearances and uniforms of learners contribute towards a violation of their equality, dignity, freedom of expression and basic education rights?
