Thursday, 28 May 2015
The headmistress of Holy Cross Girls' High School has 'apologised' for a test question that suggested girls could avoid sexual harassment by not wearing 'indecent' clothes.
"This happened because we weren't careful. We should have given it more thought," Sister Rani Catherine Gomes said speaking to bdnews24.com Wednesday.
She said the teacher who wrote the question paper for Islamic studies (creative) was 'sorry'.
"It is best to admit a mistake. We get training for setting creative questions. The teacher who made it said he was sorry.
"He will write a statement saying mistakes like this will never reoccur."
Many students who sat the test during the school's first term examinations Monday said they were embarrassed by the question while others worried about the effects.
