Jamaica College to introduce more relaxed hair policy
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Principal of Jamaica College, Wayne Robinson, has announced plans to introduce a more relaxed hair policy for students.
Addressing the school recently, Robinson acknowledged that the proposed change has sparked differing opinions within the school community.
“There comes a time when hair will be accepted. Because there are people right here, now, members of staff, members of the community who do not believe we should do this. And we should stick to the good old army, two inches, and everybody cut their hair,” said Robinson in a video shared to the school’s press club Instagram account on Tuesday.
Robinson continued, “We don’t believe that, and so we are teaching you about responsibility, and we are looking to what we have learned. We think it’s a colonial vestige.”
He also revealed that he will be giving a talk on Friday on the proposed hair policy.
