(Brussels Times) Headscarves and other religious symbols will no longer be banned in higher education schools managed by Brussels’ French Community Commission (COCOF), a member of the coalition government announced at the weekend.
The ban was also lifted from Francophone adult education and training schemes but will still be enforced in elementary and secondary education in the Brussels-Capital Region.
The rollback of the ban was approved in the majority agreement of the COCOF, informally known as the French-speaking Brussels parliament.
