Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Bulawayo Polytechnic has introduced a new dress code for students, banning certain types of attire on campus and at all functions hosted by the college outside the campus.<\/p>\n

According to a notice to students issued on 15 November 2022, the institution has banned ripped jeans, blouses that leave the stomach out, string, sleeveless and off-shoulder tops and dresses.<\/p>\n

Tops and dresses that reveal cleavages and the back, biker and bum shorts; skin tights and other tight-fitting clothes, see-through clothes and skirts, shorts and dresses that are more than five centimetres above the knees are no longer allowed.<\/p>\n

The wearing of caps in class and offices has been banned and male students are no longer allowed to wear any headgear except on religious grounds.<\/p>\n

Dropping of trousers and shorts and wearing slippers is not allowed by the institution.<\/p>\n

Bulawayo Polytechnic Principal, Chiedza Masanganise explained that the students\u2019 dress code is in line with the institution\u2019s mandate to train and groom professionals for commerce and industry. She added:<\/p>\n

If not properly dressed, the student will be asked to correct before accessing any Bulawayo Polytechnic facility and lectures.<\/p>\n

As an institution, we encourage you to be dressed according to your trade.<\/p>\n

Journalist Hopewell Chin\u2019ono described the new dress code as \u201cSharia Law\u201d, in reference to a religious law that lays down governing principles for spiritual, mental, and physical behavior that must be followed by Muslims.<\/p>\n
