Minister of Education Fayval Williams announced Wednesday that Rastafarian students will no longer be required to wear tams to cover their hair. 
 
She said the directive is included in a new draft of the dress and grooming policy set to be published ahead of the 2023/2024 academic year. 
 
"This is 2023. We really, really should not be doing that anymore. We need to respect other people's religion. Yes, we need to, you know, we need to say to our students, you have to ensure that your hair is clean and so forth. But, come on, you shouldn't have to cover your hair unless that's what your religion calls for," she asserted. 
  
The Education Minister was addressing Wednesday's final day of the Jamaica Teachers' Association's 59th annual conference in Negril, Westmoreland.
 
In the meantime, the Ministry of Education has identified 32 schools as having or will have students who use a wheelchair and will require the construction of new and additional ramps. 
 
"Of the 32, we have to do new ramps in 24 schools and additional ramps in 8 of them. So far, 22 schools have been visited, 12 of those are at the point where the work will go to tender shortly and so on. And we are moving apace to ensure that there are no impediments, no physical impediments to our special needs students to get to their classes and to participate in other activities at school," she advised.
