SINGAPORE schools have barred some students from collecting their exam results because their long or dyed hair breaks school rules, a head teacher and a newspaper said yesterday.
About a dozen male students some of whom may have already finished their studies at school were blocked from entering Hong Kah Secondary School on Friday to pick up their O-Level grades because they sported long or dyed hair and in some cases sideburns and earrings all of which are banned under state school rules, principal Mary Bay said.
