A direct-entry student of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State, Hafsat Ibrahim, hurriedly prepared for a test she had for 10 am. At 9 am, she left her house at Danraka, Zaria, Kaduna, however, when she was almost entering the school gate, a fellow student reminded her that she was wearing an armless gown.
The National Coordinator, Education Rights Campaign, Hassan Soweto, described dress codes in the tertiary education sub-sector as a contravention of the tradition of a tertiary institution system.
Soweto stated that the idea of a dress code was a violation of the principles of the tertiary education system. He stated that the regulations were needless moral cost, noting that in the western world, emphasis was not on those petty things but on the quality of education which was what the tertiary institutions in the country should focus on.
“Do lecturers have dress codes? It is absolutely nonsensical to me. If a university is going to have a dress code, that should apply to Vice-Chancellors, Deans, Head of Departments, lecturers and non-academic staff of the schools. If a dress code would be issued, it has to be for everyone.’’ He said, “Well, I would not know the background to some of the regulations because each institution has its own peculiarities, and experiences which give birth to such regulations.”
He urged the Students’ Union Government in tertiary institutions to engage the school authorities for both parties to resolve the issues provoking such moral codes.
