@nepalin24hr: Nepal's National Child Rights Council has directed all schools not to forcibly cut students' hair, stating that such actions are illegal and violate children's rights. The Council warned that anyone found engaging in the practice may face a fine of up to Rs 50,000, imprisonment for up to one year, or both. The Council also reminded schools that, under the Education Regulations and the Children Act, they must not engage in any activity that harms a student's physical or psychological well-being. It further urged schools to stop humiliating or discriminating against students over their appearance, hairstyles, uniforms, or unpaid fees. Additionally, all schools have been asked to adopt and implement child protection codes of conduct that safeguard students' dignity, self-esteem, mental health, and fundamental rights.
