As irrational school rules are being reviewed nationwide, prefectural high schools in Mie Prefecture require students with colors other than black and habitual hair to be notified in advance that they are ground hair, so-called "ground hair certification". It turned out that the book was abolished from this year.

Regarding irrational school rules and guidance, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology last week notified the boards of education nationwide to actively review school rules in line with social common sense and the times.



NHK used the information disclosure system of Mie Prefecture two years ago in the first year of Reiwa and this year to investigate the school rules of 54 prefectural high schools through the prefectural board of education.



As a result, about one-third of high schools in the first year of Reiwa requested notification of the so-called "ground hair certificate," which requires students with hair colors other than black or habitual hair to be notified in advance. However, it turned out that all high schools were abolished from this year.



The prefectural board of education has requested that the school rules be reviewed in consideration of the human rights of students at meetings where the principal and the person in charge of student guidance gather.



Mr. Seimitsu Inoguchi, Chief of the Student Guidance Division of the Mie Prefectural Board of Education, said, "It is natural that the hair proof has been abolished from the present age. I want you to do it. "
