The principal of a Kyiv gymnasium did not let students in shorts enter: reaction of the ombudsman

According to hvylya.net: A curious situation arose at Kyiv Gymnasium No. 109 named after T.G. Shevchenko in the Pechersk district due to shorts. The principal of the institution refused to allow students in shorts to enter the school due to the heat. A video of the conflict spread on the network, showing how the principal blocks the entrance to children in shorts.

The police arrived at the scene, but it was not possible to determine who was at fault. The principal emphasized the necessity of 'school clothing' in the form of 'pants or a skirt'. However, parents believe that there is no clear law prohibiting shorts in school.

It is written everywhere

Education ombudsman Nadiya Leshchyk reacted to this incident, noting that it violates children's rights to education. She emphasized that there are no laws obliging students to wear school uniforms, therefore the principal's requirements are illegal. Those who 'forced' a student to leave school must bear responsibility for the student's life and health.
