However, control and coercion are two different concepts. As a school, although it can formulate school rules and regulations to stipulate students' hairstyles, the school is an educational institution, not a compulsory department, and has no power to enforce it. The school can only explain the requirements for students' hairstyles and has no right to force students to cut their hair. If individual teachers or schools impose penalties such as compulsory haircut, suspension of classes or even persuasion on students who do not comply with school rules. This will violate students' physical and educational rights, which is illegal. Recently, Dingzhou City Education Bureau paid attention to the fact that some netizens reported on the Internet that Dingzhou No.1 Middle School forced girls to keep short hair, which triggered discussion among netizens.
Dingzhou Education Bureau attached great importance to this and immediately investigated and verified the relevant situation. After investigation, Wenchang Middle School in Dingzhou City put forward requirements for freshmen's hairstyles in the Guidance Notes for Freshmen of Grade 2022 and provided reference hairstyles for boys and girls. Dingzhou City Education Bureau corrected the school behavior at the first time, and Wenchang Middle School made it clear that it would immediately rectify and no longer make unified requirements for students' hairstyles.
The Municipal Education Bureau will draw inferences from others and guide other schools to strictly follow the Code of Daily Behavior for Middle School Students on the issue of students' hairstyles. Thank you for your concern and support for Dingzhou education!
