For most people, how you wear your hair is part of your personal style and expression. But that is not the case in some of Thailand's schools. Thai school regulations on haircuts have become a human rights issue. Al Jazeera's Veronica Pedrosa reports from Bangkok.

As a boy who has gotten detention before for my shoulder length long hair, I find rules based on haircuts in school absolutely disgraceful. Hair grows outside of school so it should be your right to have hair of whatever length you want.
May I ask why do thai schhol have that rule?
In Indonesia they wont even allow our hair to grow long enough to reach your eyebrows
I am a student in Thailand. I used to be in public school I still remember the day that I got hair cut by teacher! She was walking around with the scissors in her hand, ready to cut student's hair. Now I study at in Private Catholic school but it's actually the same. I need the reason and more freedom in this country. Somebody please make this to be world news. Not only the hair style but the schooling systems also. We can't do what we want. We must follow teachers all the time :(
@@unactivechannel7249 LITERALLY, most of us want
@@unactivechannel7249 omg yas, ppl r complaining bout it! l wanna have loooong hair like crazy 😂 but the school still dictate us in an out dated way🙄🙄🙄
As a fellow Thailand Student, from Montfort College Secondary Section. I extremely disagree not only just the restriction of hairstyles/haircuts. But there are many things schools in Thailand is doing wrong. For example, the punishment for the students, some of them still uses violence and that's not okay. "They say it's for discipline", I rightfully disagree.
If you lose discipline, schools in Thailand will become like many schools in Britain - unruly, rude, violent students, and decent students not allowed to learn. South East Asia has nothing to learn about education from the west. SIngapore is a better model for other countries.
I'm not from Thailand.... But I support you on this issue👏👍😊
@@routeman680 l disagree. It limits us to be ourselves and be more creative not those boring kindergarten costumes since the 40s. lm not ok with that.
@@CosmicHowlerx It doesn't limit you to be yourself. If you look at countries which don't have school uniforms, the students all try to dress the same anyway with tracksuits and hoodies, except that they try to have designer labels to show off. Creativity comes from your personality, talents and abilities, not from hairstyles or the clothes you wear.
@@routeman680 are you a parent or something? 😂 you need to feel REALLY feel it dude!
There's a big obstacles in changing this hair rule: a conservatives usually says that Thailand is located at tropical climate and undergraduate's pregnancy rate will be raising. It's about time to change Thai education's key word from "discipline" to "respect others" so we can solve this social shit in Thailand.
Let's put it straight, as long as these military people determine how you breathe and live the rule that forces the students to cut their hair at a certain length and style will always be there. Just like the students are also "asked" to fulfill their scout duties during the school semester
I want my country to be modern that's all
Ok i get it now. all i want is to make Thailand more international that's all
same with my school laws in Malaysia.
this haircut rule is a kind of authoritarianism for human nature
Same with the schools in Malaysia.
So wait until Thailand is the last country on earth that high school boy got to wear short pant like a elementary boy
rattanatour&travel I'm sure you'd like to wear long pants when it's extremely hot and humid outside
no it not 😂
l mean srsly, the costumes are shits. its out dated. Its boring and no creativity. lt looks like we jump out of the 40s LOL
New Zealand (not a hot country), Australia, South Africa have shorts for high school boys.
I think shorts make sense for Thailand coz it's very hot and humid here. Would you rather that men wear suits and ties to work everyday and crank up air conditions so you won't sweat and smell rotten by the end of the day? In usa/australia, college students wear shorts and flip flops to classes in the summer coz it's too hot for long pants.
Im thailand i want to say school should take this hair rule out
I don't Understand WHY have To cut Their hair You Know What Thailand You Are An old Man!!!
It doesn't matter. They all look alike anyway.
Why that rule
Yea why this rule is have???
I live in Thailand
OMG....I wanna shorts to school as well...but um T-T but not that kind of shorts that Thai student wear! It looks like a kindergarten kids.
Just stop study that school
Wow.
I wonder if Al Jazeera will comment about education and student rights and the rights of people generally in Qatar. Sort out your own country first before criticizing a country far more beautiful than yours.
I hate this hairstyle. !!!!!!!! it Infringement.
growing your hair isn't a right lol. I feel aslong as your hair is religiously and culturally acceptable than it should be fine though.
Bro his not fair for student because student want to handsome
WHAT PROBLEM ON OUR HAIR
Is it you Netiwit?
I noticed teenage school boys looks smarter in their school uniforms than just regular T-shirt & jeans!
What are you elementary boy ?? hey i'm an adult i'm not even care what you will wearing but we should be like the other nation not Thailand only.
Lol
OMG....@ 1:23 Is she a police? Why she has to pull him off...did he do anything wrong? She's so mean to do that to other people! :( Bad teacher! :(
so what? It's hot and humid. That is so impractical. I wish I could wear shorts and tshirts to work everyday. Google other countries with hot climates i.e. Singapore and South Africa - the highschool boys wear shorts too.
Look at it this way, conformity to a certain hairstyle during your schooling years does not only makes you into a disciplined man but shows that there is a line drawn in society between learned individuals & "dek wen" in English-Hooligans or social pariahs!
No. No it does not. I had long hair that was every color of the rainbow in school. Now I'm a university lecturer.
Get out of this century.
