We know that the Muslim community is higher in North African countries, and the decision may not be acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, the decision is not taken back; it still has been implemented due to clear instructions against Saudi Arabia&#8217;s ban on hijabs in exam centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saudi Arabia Bans Hijab in Exam Hall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The announcement comes at a time when some Muslim organizations in India have termed similar action taken by school authorities as &#8216;Islamophobic&#8217;.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the ETEC.
