This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Kazakh government’s recent announcement of a ban on wearing the hijab headscarf in educational institutions has sparked fierce debate in the country.
"Requirements for the school uniform prohibit the wearing of the hijab, since any attribute, symbol, element in one way or another implies propaganda of the dogma to which they relate.
Kazakh Education Minister Gani Beisembayev confirmed that in the Atyrau region alone, 150 girls have dropped out of school since the beginning of September because of the ban.
And in the Turkestan region, two men reportedly beat a local school director because she refused to allow girls wearing hijabs to attend classes.
Flash mobs are being organized on social media, with schoolgirls burning their exercise books and demanding the right to wear Muslim clothing or asking their peers to try on the hijab directly on the street.
According to the Supreme Mufti of Kazakhstan, Nauryzbay Kazhy Taganuly, girls who want to wear a hijab should be taught in a madrasa, or Muslim educational institution, from the 10th grade onward.
