Students will be allowed to wear cornrows when the new school term begins in September.
The recommendation comes from the Minister of Education, who issued a proposal to stakeholders in the sector during a meeting earlier today.
This follows the controversial incident at Trinity College, Moka a week ago where 23 boys were not allowed to fully participate in their graduation because of their hairstyle.
The boys wore their hair in cornrows or afros while others had their hair slightly grown out.
Minister of Education Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly met with the respective bodies virtually and nine proposals were discussed.
Among the proposals: Students shall maintain neat and clean hair at all times; Hair crossing shoulder length should always be tied back for safety reasons (boys and girls); Locs, twists, plaits, and cornrows shall be allowed for all students; Female students shall be allowed to wear hair extensions including weaves and braids; Wigs and died or coloured hair for students are not allowed and; Hairstyles that obstruct the normal view of other students are not allowed
It was also stated that: Eyebrow markings and eyelash extensions are not allowed; Haircut parting designs should be modest while intricate designs are not allowed and; Hair ornaments should be in compliance with individual school rules.
