Also, the dimensions of cultural, social and personal and family contexts based on the facilitation of the phenomenon of hijab and the dimensions of being understood instead of being rejected, the lack of explanation and the desired enlightenment as well as neglecting practical models and sloganeering based on the fact that the phenomenon of hijab is inhibiting were identified. Conclusion: based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that facing the challenge of removing hijab by students on the way to school requires a change in the view of executive bodies on hijab, and it is necessary to avoid taking superficial positions and hasty approaches. It must be replaced by explanation and enlightenment. There is also a need to create culture in the context of the real needs of students and the young generation by the general public and beneficiaries, and to use the potential of social, educational, media and even political institutions. If the existing procedure regarding the phenomenon of students' hijab and the young generation continues and the process of facing it is neglected, It will cause a deeper gap in the near future.
