Togolese schoolgirls have been sent home this week to have their heads shaved because teachers say they waste too much time playing with their hair.

Two weeks ago, the education minister urged more moderation in girls' dress and hairstyles in the classroom.

State schools have been accused of acting overzealously by insisting girls have their hair cropped so close.

"I'm angry, I don't want to shave my hair but I have to if I want to resume class," 17-year-old Tina Djobe said.

Schools blame the distraction of fashion for girls' low academic record.

That's so NOT true. And not fair.
