Female Teachers Banned From Wearing Trousers, Heavy Makeup To Work In Ghana by Nobody: 11:42am On Jun 11, 2017
Ghana Education Service in the Hohoe Municipality of the Volta Region last week banned female teachers from wearing trousers and heavy makeup to work.

This directive was contained in an internal memorandum from the agency reminding both male and female teachers of its dress code.

The memo, published by local media, advised female teachers to avoid “miniskirts and sleeveless dresses”, “too much make-ups and multicoloured hair dos”, and to minimize “cosmetic treatment (pedicure)”.
For men, they are to avoid “jeans trousers and round neck T-shirts” and “hanging of earphones on the ear as well as loose dressing”.

The memo warned that disciplinary action will be taken against any teacher in violation of the dress code and “henceforth, improper dressing will not be tolerated in our schools and offices.”

Africa News reports that this reminder was welcomed by many Ghanaians on social media.

“These rules are not new! I have been a teacher for 11 years Now! The rules are there already just that teachers don’t observe them! Let’s pray that they will be observed this time around!,”

A Facebook user in a comment on a public post on the directive.

“I hope they will start giving them dress allowance. Because u can tell me what to wear when u are not providing for my dress,”

Another user added.

Several countries and institutions banned trousers for women centuries back, but many have long lifted the ban.

France lifted the 200-year-old ban on women wearing trousers in 2013. It was a law since November 17, 1800 until it was repealed because it was “incompatible with modern French values and laws”.

The British Airways also lifted its ban on female cabin crew from wearing trousers in February 2016.

Malawi also lifted a 1965 ban on women wearing trousers in 1994.

Turkey lifted its ban on women lawmakers wearing trousers in the assembly in 2013 likewise the United States Senate that lifted the ban on women wearing trousers on the floor in 1993.

Sudan has, however, arrested women wearing trousers under its Article 152 of the 1991 Penal Code.

People and their weird mentality

They only advised you to dress well, which is less expensive, and he is already asking for an allowance
