Womens cloth - If her parents force her to go to a school where she has to take off her niqab, should she take it off in the street too?

I am a 17 year old who want to wear niqab. It is 3 years on school and
I am only in my first year. Should I take of my niqab only at school?
Notice that it would be abig problem too me from my family if I told
them I want to quit at school. Is it better to use it outside school
and notat school, or should I wait 2 years untill I finish school so
that I can use it all the time?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
It is obligatory for a girl who has reached puberty to cover her
entire body in front of non-mahram men, because of evidence thathas
been discussed previously -- see questions no. 11774 and 21134 .
There is no differentiation in this regard between the street, the
school or any other place. Wherever there are non-mahram men, the
woman is obliged to cover all of her body, including the face.
Secondly:
You have to try hard to convince your parents tolet you study in a
school that is not mixed, or a school in which you will be able to
cover your face, or to study by distance learning, so that you can
avoid falling into sin.
If your family do not let you do that, and they insist on your staying
in this school, and you cannot move to another school, then you have
to wear the niqab outside school, because that is what you can do. The
fact that you are forced to uncover your face in the school does not
make it permissible for you to do so outside of school, because Allah
says (interpretation of the meaning): "So keep your duty to Allaah and
fear Him as much as you can" [al-Taghaabun 64:16].
We ask Allah, may He be exalted, to increase you in knowledge and
guidance, and to grant you a way out and relief.
And Allah knows best.
