Title: Anyone in a Student Union / Student Council? (UK people please)
Post by: [NP]Monte Montague on November 27, 2010, 04:02:11 pm
If so / if you was, or even if you're in a college in the UK; what was your colleges policy on being absent due to religious events such as Diwali, Eid.
For example, would your college EMA people allow you to take off days and still have 100% attendance?.

In my college it's very confusing, I plan on changing this ASAP in the next Student Council meeting, people are not allowed days off for there religious days, such as the recent EID celebration, students where not allowed 3 days off, which is how long it is, they've said to me they do not care for the EMA (Education Maintenance Allowance - all 19 and younger get it :) ), but there general attendance.

 :redface:

Even if you're not in any such organisation, erm, still please say your situation.



reminder: UK people post please.

No, not all under 19's get it. Your parents have to be bringing under a certain average income into the household (

EMA in college can stil be given for absence of leave such as Eid and Diwali, BUT you have to make sure you tell your teacher ato mark you in so you receive it otherwise you wount, atleast thats how it used ot be done when i was in college.

Its just a matter of the teacher marking you in, but only you can take 1 day off, maybe 2 if you are teachers pet.

Lol... What the fuck will your college council do in the face of the government? You will only get EMA when you have an authorised medical/dental appointment with a note from the doctor or dentist.

To be honest, it shouldn't matter whether its religious or not, but anyway...

3 Days is pushing it a bit I reckon, 1 or 2 days max I would say

Curse, basicly here, if you want a day off for a religiouse event you get it, if your told you cannot, then who ever told you that you cant have the day off, gets sued. :D
Not so long ago a girl in London sued a teacher because the teacher told her to take a religiouse bangle off.
I osme how find sueing for that a bit over the topic as they should be treated equaly eve if they are in a religion or what ever.

Yay! Let's find more stupid ways to sue people. After all, I really enjoy paying even higher taxes.

Anyone who sues over the removal of a religious jewellery item that is against school policy is a stupid greedy bitch.

Thats if you even pay taxes and it only goes to paying for goverment suing cases.
