Headscarf free in universities - 09 / 02 / 2008 15:49
Turkish lawmakers approved on Saturday constitutional amendments to lift the ban on headscarf at universities.
In a final vote, lawmakers voted 411-103 to approve two amendments.
The first amendment (to article 10 of the Constitution) will insert the statement "...and in benefitting from all public services" in the last sentence of the article 10 of the Constitution "equality before the law."
Under this amendment, last sentence of article 10 says "state organs and administrative authorities shall act in compliance with the principle of equality before the law in all their proceedings and in benefitting from all public services."
The second amendment (on article 42 of the Constitution on "Right and Duty of Training and Education") adds the paragraph "no one can be deprived of his/her right to higher education for reasons not openly mentioned by laws. The limits of the use of this right will be determined by law."
