ISLAMABAD: The Education and Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC) of Saudi Arabia has decided that during examinations, no female students will be allowed to wear the customary Saudi women’s clothing i.e. abaya.

Abayas is a customary Saudi women’s clothing which is comfortable, stylish and meets the canons of Islam. The Education and Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC) emphasized that female students must wear school uniforms during examinations inside examination halls and that the uniform should conform to standards of public decency and strict regulations.

The Commission was founded as a governmental organization in 2017, and it is financially and legally autonomous, directly reporting to the prime minister.
