France is preparing to face criticism from Muslim nations as it bans Abayas in schools.
The French education minister has claimed that all schools will be directed to implement the ban on garment worn by Muslim women.
French Education minister, Gabriel Attal, said "Secularism means the freedom to emancipate oneself through school.
The Abaya is a religious gesture, aimed at testing the resistance of the republic toward the secular sanctuary that school must constitute.
When you enter a classroom, you must not be able to identify the religion of the students by looking at them." Watch for more details.
