After switching schools owing to the hijab ban, a Karnataka girl wins a prize in the Kerala State Festival

Shivamogga, KARNATAKA / Karavarakund (Malappuram District) KERALA:

Afeefa K wins first place with an “A grade” in Kannada speaking this year in the Kerala State Festival

At the Arts Festival, which concluded on 7 January, the topic for Kannada speech was “role of voters in democracy”. Afeefa said she explained the misuse of voters and how it damages society.

Afeefa, a student at Shimogga’s KPCL High School in the tenth grade, was forced to leave school as soon as the Karnataka government banned the hijab in February of last year.

She is currently enrolled in Darunnajath HSS, a school located in Karuvarakund, her grandfather’s hometown and a town in Kerala’s Malappuram district.
