The father is writing to request an exemption from the uniform policy for his daughter, a first year nursing student at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, due to her religious requirements as a Muslim woman to wear a headscarf. He explains that the headscarf is a mandatory part of her religious dress code. He seeks clarification on whether she will be allowed to vary the uniform to accommodate wearing the headscarf or be exempted if it is not possible. He reserves the right to seek legal recourse if she is prevented from participating in her clinical attachment due to wearing the headscarf.
