2. A school uniform
is an outfit—a set of standardized clothes
—worn primarily for an educational
institution.
3. They are common in primary and secondary schools in various
countries (see list of countries below). When used, they form the
basis of a school's dress code. Traditionally school uniforms have
been largely subdued and professional.[citation needed] Boys'
uniforms often consist of dark short or long trousers and light-
colored shirt, often with a tie. Girls' uniforms vary greatly between
countries and schooling systems, but typically consist of a dress or
a blouse worn either with a skirt or culottes or under a pinafore;
some countries allow girls to wear trousers. The use of a blazer or
suit-like jacket for either gender is also fairly common, especially in
countries with relatively cold weather. While some countries have
school uniforms that are essentially standard in all schools using it,
others have each school with an individual uniform, varying in and
often making use of badges.
4. The arguments for school uniforms
School uniforms, as well as any form, discipline, leading to
cohesion, promotes development in the students a sense of
community, teamwork, common cause and having common
goals.
Form eliminates (or at least, limit) the possibility of
competition between students (and their parents) in clothes,
significantly reduces the visual difference between students
from families of different material well, preventing
delamination on a "rich / poor."
Single standard form if it is taken at the state level, ensures
that the clothing students will meet sanitary requirements and
adversely affect their health.
If there is a single form, its production could be earmarked to
subsidize, maintaining low prices and poor shooting from the
burden of the cost of educating children.
5. Arguments against school uniforms
Form - the egalitarian element of education and training.
Form deprives students the opportunity to express their
individuality in clothing, is a means of deindividuation school
students.
The requirement to wear the form is in itself a form of
violence against the person, the requirement of strict
compliance with the form can, if desired, to interpret school
staff and used to the unjustified persecution of unwanted
students.
The form may be too expensive for poor families.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that every
child has the right to express their individuality as it is he
likes. Uniform limits freedom of expression.
7. British school uniforms
School uniforms in England were first introduced on a large scale during the reign of King
Henry VIII.The uniforms of the time were referred as "bluecoats", as they consisted of long
trench-coat-style jackets dyed blue. Blue was the cheapest available dye and showed humility
amongst all children. The first school to introduce this uniform was Christ's Hospital and it is
the oldest uniform of any school.
In 1870, the Elementary Education Act 1870 made elementary education available for all
children in England and Wales. The popularity of uniforms increased and eventually most
schools had a uniform. During this period most uniforms reflected the trends of the age, with
boys wearing short trousers and blazers until roughly the age of puberty and then long trousers
from about 14 or 15. Girls mainly wore blouse, tunic dress and pinafore later progressing
towards the beginning of the 20th century to gymslips.
These uniforms continued until the 1950s when after the Butler reforms secondary education
was made free and the school leaving age was raised to 15. These reforms encouraged schools
to implement uniform codes which were similar to other schools. Distinct "summer" and
"winter" uniforms were sometimes required, particularly for girls where dresses were
mandated for summer and gymslip for winter.
Today, the Government believes that school uniforms play a valuable role in contributing to
the ethos of schools: The Department for Children, Schools and Families strongly encourages
schools to have a uniform as it can instil pride; support positive behaviour and discipline;
encourage identity with, and support for, school ethos; ensure pupils of all races and
backgrounds feel welcome; protect children from social pressures to dress in a particular way;
nurture cohesion and promote good relations between different groups of pupils.
School uniforms are required to be fair for both genders, be available at a reasonably low cost
and tolerate religious freedoms e.g. allowing Sikhs to wear turbans

9. Japanese school uniform
The Japanese junior- and senior-high-school uniform traditionally consists of a
military style uniform for boys and a sailor outfit for girls. These uniforms are based on
Meiji era formal military dress, themselves modeled on European-style naval uniforms. The
sailor outfit replace the undivided hakama designed by Utako Shimoda between 1920–30.
While this style of uniform is still in use, many schools have moved to more Western-pattern
parochial school uniform styles. These uniforms consist of a white shirt, tie, blazer with school
crest, and tailored trousers (often not of the same color as the blazer) for boys and a white
blouse, tie, blazer with school crest, and tartan culottes or skirt for girls.
In the classroom, Japanese students are required to take off the shoes they wear outdoors and
put on their uwabaki, a kind of soft slipper meant to be used only indoors.
Regardless of what type of uniform any particular school assigns its students, all schools have
a summer version of the uniform. Depending on the discipline level of any particular school,
students may often wear different seasonal and activity uniforms within the same classroom
during the day. Individual students may attempt to subvert the system of uniforms by wearing
their uniforms incorrectly or by adding prohibited elements such as large loose socks or
badges. Girls may shorten their skirts, permanently or by wrapping up the top to decrease
length; boys may wear trousers about the hips, omit ties, or keep their shirts unbuttoned.
Since some schools do not have sex-segregated changing- or locker-rooms, students may
change for sporting activities in their classrooms. As a result, such students may wear their
sports uniforms under their classroom uniforms. Certain schools also regulate student
hairstyles, footwear, and book bags; but these particular rules are usually adhered to only on
special occasions, such as trimester opening and closing ceremonies and school photo days.
It is normal for uniforms to be worn outside of school areas, however this is going out of
fashion and many students wear a casual dress. While not many public elementary schools in
Japan require uniforms, many private schools and public schools run by the central
government still do so.

11. Russian school uniform
Compulsory school attendance form in Russia was canceled in the spring of
1994.
The study of "Be in shape!" Conducted in 2005, found that of the 2,200
secondary and private schools in Moscow, about 60 percent have introduced or
plan to introduce a form, and in St. Petersburg, the figure is at least 90 percent.
In Russia today there is no single school uniform, as it was in the Soviet Union,
but many high schools and high school, especially the most prestigious, and
some schools have their own form, emphasizing the students belonging to a
particular institution. In some schools there is no form, adopted officially, but
the form can be administered at the class level, in consultation with parents of
students (usually a "cool" form introduced in the lower grades). In addition, the
school does not have uniforms, there may be a dress code of business style.
Uniform of the Soviet time (or dress, styled it) with white apron traditionally
worn by graduates last call as a symbol of farewell to the school, and at least -
on other holidays. However, a number of schools (some schools in
Naberezhnye Chelny, Prokhorov gymnasium, a number of schools in
Krasnoyarsk and Ufa) dresses and skirts for girls or preserved from the Soviet
era, or were introduced back in the 2000s in order to raise the discipline of
students.
