School uniform or school uniform is a practice that began in the 16th century in England. It is believed that the Christ Hospital School in London in 1552 was the first school to use a school uniform. The earliest documented evidence of institutionalized use of standard academic attire dates back to 1222 when then the Archbishop of Canterbury ordered to wear a cappa clausa about 800 years ago.
The practice of having school uniforms has been adopted by other countries, and is now common in many parts of the world. Uniform can be considered to promote social equality among students and school pride, but this practice is also criticized for promoting the uniformity of characteristics of militarism.
The decision whether to apply a school uniform policy or not is controversial and also polarized in society and country. In countries such as Britain, South Africa and some Asian countries, schoolchildren should wear approved school uniforms that conform to their respective school uniform policies. In modern Europe, Britain and Ireland stand out as the only country where school uniforms are widely adopted by state schools and are generally supported by national and local governments although there are no laws governing school uniforms in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. There are several independent schools and public schools that do not have a school uniform policy and that students are free to dress in a manner that is deemed appropriate by themselves and their parents or guardians.

Australia
In Australia, any school or school system can set its own uniform policy. Wearing uniforms is mandatory in most private schools and all Catholics of Australia, as well as in most public schools, although sometimes less enforced in elementary schools that have uniforms. Uniforms usually have color schemes based on school colors. Uniforms and appearances are generally strictly applied in private and Catholic schools, although public schools are getting increasingly strict about their uniforms. Most, if not all, public and private schools have school logos incorporated in an ensemble uniform, usually in tie and breast pocket blazers.
For boys, the uniform usually includes a button-up shirt or polo with shorts (especially for summer wear) or trousers, usually in gray or navy or school colors. Some schools allow boys to wear shorts only at a younger age, and they should wear trousers after they become seniors (17-18). On the other, even older boys wear shorts in summer because of the heat. Where shorts should be worn, color school socks (more often white) are often needed. Girl uniforms generally include plaid or striped dresses (usually sleeveless or short sleeves) worn over blouses for summer and, in most high schools, girls wearing skirts and button-up shirts or polo in season cold with a blazer and tie. In some schools, girls are also allowed to wear button-up shirts or dark polo and trousers.
In public schools, uniforms are usually polo shirts for junior and different for seniors and trousers or skirts. This set can be equipped with a school tie and, usually, a jumper v-neck (pullover or sweater) or blazer. In summer, boys usually do not wear ties, pullovers, or blazers. Instead, they wore short versions of shirts and shorts. Neck ties, blazers, and hats are also common in private and Catholic schools.
In most high school PE uniforms are the norm for sports days only. In many high schools, children are required to change their PE uniforms around gym lessons. PE uniforms usually consist of shorts and polo shirts, as well as light weatherproof rain jackets (especially in private or catholic schools), usually made of polyester, for winter and wet weather and sometimes netball skirts for girls. It is common for students in the final year of primary school or high school to have their own jersey, jumper, or jacket to show their year-end status.

Brazil
There are no legal requirements for school uniforms in Brazil. Based on state or city by city, the government may issue a uniform to a public school pupil but may not require its use. Private schools are free to set their own uniform policies
Brazilian school uniforms can vary greatly from school. There are many schools that choose more elegant clothing, while others prefer the simpler (social shirts, shorts). This "smart uniform" is embedded with a locater chip that allows the computer to automatically tell whether the student has arrived at school or not. If a student does not appear for school or class, an automated message is sent to inform the appropriate parent. The benefit of automated systems is curb absenteeism and skipping classes. In this country, all schools, both private and public; is the duty of students to wear uniforms.
Burundi
School uniform is required for school children in Burundi. Burundi like most African countries has a mandatory school uniform policy. Burundi school uniform policy dates back to the colonial days. During those days the chief sons' wearing white uniforms and all other children wear khaki. The uniform policy is still valid in Burundi to date. However, the school decided on the uniforms worn by the students. It also said that school uniform policies other than poverty, especially in rural areas, negatively affect enrollment into schools.
Cambodia
In Cambodia, students of all ages ranging from pre-school to college wear school uniforms. Uniforms of each school and age level are different. Generally, boys wear white shirts and shorts. The color and length of shorts vary in each school. The male students wore the same uniform, but instead of shorts they wore black trousers. Girls usually wear white blouses and skirts. Their skirts vary in color and length depending on the school and their age. Generally the younger students wear long skirts that almost reach their ankles and the students wear shorter clothes. Skirts are generally blue or black but may be other colors too, depending on the school. Some schools also have alternative uniforms used by students of both sexes every two days. These often consist of colored shirts and trousers. High school students should wear long black or blue skirts. High school boys wear long black or blue trousers. A white shirt can be short sleeved or long sleeved for both. However, for high school students it is necessary to have a name label on the left side of his shirt.
Canada
In Canada, school uniforms are not required in most public schools or separate schools, except in exceptional circumstances such as school shows or international field visits. However, the majority of Catholic secondary schools in Ontario (Grades 9-12) do require uniforms. In addition, in 2011, the Canadian Catholic District School Board has implemented a blue and white nautical Code in all separate elementary schools that do not yet have their own uniforms.
Uniforms, however, are used in most private schools, as well as in special or alternative programs from public and Catholic schools, such as the Traditional Learning Center, a program that takes the liberal arts approach, while focusing on a high level of academic excellence. But in Quebec, most of the board of anglophone metropolitan schools need a uniform.
Chile
In Chile, most schools have uniforms.
Until 1930, it was not unusual for students to wear a uniform. Under Carlos IbÃÆ'¡ÃÆ' Â ± ez del Campo, all students are obliged to wear school uniforms. During the administration of Eduardo Frei Montalva, uniforms were introduced to all public and private schools and other educational centers. Today, these uniforms have been lost in private schools, who prefer to use customized ones.
China
Uniforms are a common part of schools in China. Almost all secondary schools and some elementary schools require students to wear uniforms. Uniforms in mainland China usually consists of five sets: 2 formal sets and 3 sets daily. Every official set is fine for summer or winter and is worn on Mondays or special occasions (school warnings, school ceremonies, etc.) They consist of white collared shirts with sweaters on top and skirts for girls or suits for boys with a set for summer and a set for winter. Daily uniforms for boys in winter usually consist of sweaters and zip-up trousers and collared shirts (usually white), with a thinner material in spring and autumn and shorts or longs in summer. The day-to-day uniforms for girls are basically the same as boys' uniforms. It is relatively common for there to be some kind of sponsored advertising on some non formal school uniform shirts, although this trend has fluctuated in recent years.
Colombia
In Colombia, all students are required to wear uniforms in public and private schools. The uniforms in Colombia consist of two sets, one for everyday use and one sport for physical education. Uniforms of daily use for girls generally include knee-length skirts, white shirts and vests on top along with white mid-calf socks, and for boys most uniforms are short and long pants or long sleeves of shirts. Shoes for women and boys are black lace boots (can sometimes vary for blue shoes or dark red wine depending on uniform colors) and shirts usually have a school symbol on the left side. Sports uniforms are sports pants, collar shirts and white sneakers. Uniform design and color depends on school color and principal preference.
El Salvador
In El Salvador, all students from public and private schools must wear uniforms. Uniforms vary depending on the school.
French
Since 1968, uniforms have not been enforced in French schools, with some exceptions (such as Maison d'ÃÆ' Â © ducation de la LÃÆ' Â © gion d'honneur, les ÃÆ' â € ° coles TUNON, and Vatel). Xavier Darcos, a former teacher and Minister of Education from 2007 to 2009, is an advocate of uniform reintroduction: "This is not unreasonable, it eliminates visible differences in social status or wealth, an additional factor of integration." Since March 2012, students from Boarding Excellence Sourdun wear uniforms with their establishment badges.
Les lycà © à © es de la dÃÆ'  © fense, formerly known as a military school, requires students to wear uniforms, just like the students at boarding schools of SOURDUN's superiority. At some universities, academic dress became popular.
In the French Antilles (Martinique and Guadeloupe), as well as French Guiana, uniforms have been requested since September 2008.
German
There is no tradition to wear school uniforms in Germany, and today, almost all public school students, private schools or universities do not wear school uniforms. However, certain clothes have become common to students in the past:
From the 16th century, students (especially high schools or grammars and similar institutions) were often subject to the prescribed rules, for example, simple clothing and not too stylish. In many cases, this rule is part of a broader law on the clothing of all citizens of a particular social class.
Blue coat became a symbol of the compulsory status of high school students; it was not used during the second half of the 18th century. In more recent times, school uniforms in the true sense are not available outside the convent school and private boarding schools. Sometimes, certain modes become so large that they approach the uniform status; this is especially true for so-called scholar caps (Schaï¼lermÃÆ'¼tzen ) that were widespread from the 1880s and remained somewhat popular until they were banned by the Nazis. Their use is supported by teachers and students themselves and is sometimes made mandatory, but never at the national or state level. Another example is the sailor clothing that became fashionable around the turn of the 19th century. This, too, is usually not the uniform specified.
The Nazis prohibit student hats - the only remaining, if voluntary, uniform student form of clothing - because they consider them attributes of the class society. They did, however, institutionalize compulsory membership in the uniformed Hitler Youth (HJ ) beginning in 1936. HJ uniforms were worn at the training academies of HJ and in Napolas; students from other schools sometimes wear them to school at their own discretion.
Lately, the introduction of school uniforms has been discussed, but usually the expression "uniform" (the same word in German) is avoided for the term "school clothing" ("Schulkleidung"). School clothes have been introduced in a small number of schools, for example in Hamburg-Sinstorf in 2000, and in Friesenheim and Haag (Oberbayern) in 2005. In these cases clothing is a collection of shirts, sweaters, and the like, which serve the senses of contemporary fashion. Uniforms in a more traditional sense are hardly ever proposed seriously.
The uniformed compulsory school debate in Germany when two Muslim girls dressed in burkas arrived at a school in Bonn in 2006. The girls' actions were interpreted as political acts and then suspended from school. Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries later in an interview with Welt am Sonntag stated that a simple solution to the problem under consideration is the introduction of compulsory school uniforms for boys and girls across Germany. He further stated that school uniforms will help prevent conflicts arising from religious or political differences. His attitude is supported by Education Minister Annette Schavan. The proposal was opposed by opposition from teachers' unions and opposition political parties. The teachers' union believes that school uniforms are not a solution to the problem of integration or against fashion obsessions. Heinz-Peter Meidinger teacher union leader also added that school uniforms have been a controversial issue in Germany for many years.
Opposition to school uniform
A senior Green Party member, Krista Sager, also said that the introduction or uniform of the school would be an unacceptable state intervention in religious matters. He then proposed that each school should find their own solution and refuse the solution applied by the government. He further noted that school uniforms are no longer up to date and their imposition will be rejected by the current generation of students. The Conference of Education Ministers, a body that decides school policy, also kicked off school uniforms. They cite historical reasons dating back to World War II with the memories of Hitler's Youth uniform still fresh in people's minds. They also concluded that the imposition of school uniform would be an excessive government overrun on the students' personal freedoms and parents. Some schools also sell branded clothing that can be used as a sign of school pride.
The Bildungsstreik movement fought against school uniforms because they were mentioned to be part of a kind of militarism.
Ghana
All children should wear school uniforms in Ghana. Pupils in public schools have the same type of school uniform as the school emblem printed on the left chest. It helps differentiate students from one school to another. Private schools determine which uniforms their students use.
Ghana like most African countries is characterized by low income and high poverty rates. Therefore the cost of school uniforms acts as one of the barriers to access to education. In an effort to achieve universal primary education the government, as part of its educational policy, initiated the distribution of free school uniforms across the country in 2010. According to government data, a total of 170,221 students were given free school uniforms by 2013 and planned to supply 10,000 uniforms by 2014 There is a public program to offer financial assistance to poor families to buy uniforms. More than 8,000 school uniforms have been distributed by the government to students in need in the community from the municipality of Tarkwa Nsuaem, one of the mining districts of Ghana, which is heavily affected by poverty. This is part of a program instituted in 2010 to provide disadvantaged children with school uniforms.
Hong Kong
Most schools in former British colonies adopt similar uniforms to British schools, while Catholic schools in Hong Kong usually follow the tradition of Catholic school uniforms. A number of older Christian girls' schools were established before World War II, however, retaining their inheritance using Chinese cheongsam as their uniforms, such as St Stephen's Girls College, High School of True Light and Heep Yunn School. The sailor's jacket is also used as a uniform in some kindergartens for boys and girls, and high school but for girls only, for example Bishop Hall Jubilee School and New Method College.
India
Uniforms are often required in India in both public and private schools. Boys 'uniforms are often made of light-colored shirts, usually blue, white or black pants, and girls' clothing are often shirts and skirts. At the state level, high school is required to use Shalwar Kameez. This is not mandatory but they have certain special clothing codes.
Many schools require students to wear shoes, ties and ID cards, and comb their hair down and keep it clean and short. Long hair tied with braids. Uniform is one of the most important components in school life and is considered very serious in India.
Some institutions also require the use of ties, especially schools run by Christian missionaries, and the Indian government does not forbid children to have religious symbols, so Muslim girls can wear the burka and Sikh boys. turban in addition to uniform. However, most schools, whether public or private, forbid students to have hair ponytailed or dyed.
Indonesia
In Indonesia, school uniforms are mandatory for every student. They can be simply described as below for each stage of education:
- Primary school or elementary school students SD wear a short-sleeved white shirt with red shorts for boys, and a skirt under the knee for women.
- Middle school or Junior High School requires a blue shorts or trousers with short-sleeved white shirts for boys. Women wear long blue or blue skirts under the knees and short-sleeved white shirts.
- High school High School high school needs a blue-gray suit with a short-sleeved white shirt. Women wear long-knee-length skirts or long blue-gray, and wear a short-sleeved white shirt or long sleeve.
Public schools in Indonesia tolerate religious freedom. For example, Muslim girls may choose to wear long-sleeved shirts, long skirts, and headscarves to cover their heads. Most schools in Indonesia also have batik uniforms, usually worn on Thursdays or Fridays. This uniform consists of a short-sleeved shirt or long sleeves of batik, with shorts or shorts for high school and a skirt under the knee or a long skirt for women. Batik motifs and colors depend on the school. Some schools tend to issue ties and/or vests for their students. These ties and vests can vary from school to school in colors and patterns of sewing, even among public schools.
Currently, with the increase of private schools in Indonesia, most private schools have their own signature school uniforms. Most consist of shirts with shorts or trousers for men, and skirts for women, only with differences in color.
Each school has its own standard of care. Men are not allowed to have long hair. Accessories are also usually prohibited for men, except watches. Women are usually allowed to use simple accessories like watches, earrings, and sometimes bracelets. All students are forbidden to color their hair or have a tattoo. Wearing nail polish is usually not allowed.
Most schools pay attention to wearable shoes. Black or white sneakers with white straps are the most common shoes. Some higher-level students, such as in high school, or vocal , are usually asked to wear black leather shoes.
School badges are usually placed on the right arm of a shirt, made up of the name and location of the school, and some have their own school logo. Others prefer to wear school logos as collars or plastic breast or metal pins. The Symbol of the OSIS ( Intra School Student Organization ), or Student Internship Organization, is placed in the left pocket of the t-shirt. Student names are usually on the right side of the shirt and pinned by sewing, ironing, or as a removable badge. Some schools (usually "junior" and "high school") distinguish their class of students with lines on official ties issued or emblems under the school emblem (can be lines, chevrons or numbers). Currently some schools require students to wear school badges of Indonesian flags sewn on their left pockets.
Scout (scout) uniforms are used in many schools in Indonesia at least once a week. It consists of a short-sleeved shirt or long brown sleeve, with shorts or dark brown trousers, and a skirt under the knee or longer for a woman. The usual day for wearing a Boy Scout uniform usually falls on Wednesdays, Fridays, or Saturdays. Furthermore, on certain occasions (usually at ceremonies or competitions), uniforms should be worn as a complete outfit, with red/white and colored scarves/ties, dark brown barrels, ropes, daggers and scout sticks.
Scout uniforms have two breast pockets. Above the right pocket is the name of the student. The Indonesian Scout Movement logo is sewn in the left pocket (for boys). In the right arm there are locations, numbers and logos of reconnaissance organizations, while in the left arm is usually the logo of the talent and chevrons team showing the class. Male students use the International Scouting Organization logo on behalf of and female students in their lapels.
Israel
According to former Minister of Education Limor Livnat, about 1,400 Israeli public schools require students to wear uniforms.
School uniforms used to be the norm in the early days of the country, but have since been disliked. However, in recent years, the number of schools using school uniforms has increased once again. Many teachers, parents and students support the return of school uniforms to be used together to prevent the deepening of the gap between rich children and the less fortunate. The current school uniforms are mainly associated with "national religious" schools in the Israeli education system. Schools for Israeli Arabs also often need uniforms: for girls, pinafore is often worn over trousers and shirts.
In the Haredi or ultra-Orthodox school system, uniforms are required basically all girls' schools. In most of this, the style adopted by the Beit Ya'akov network is used: sky blue blouse blouse, blub down, open collar, with Oxford blue skirt, pleated that comes just below knee and dark stockings. In cold weather, a Yale-blue sweater can be added. A small number of schools change the color scheme to pink and burgundy, while retaining the same overall appearance. In boys schools there is usually no identifiable school uniform, different from what is considered acceptable for ordinary street clothes. However, acceptable street clothing standards for boys and boys in the Haredi community are appropriate and demand that in almost all cases all boys in a particular school will be dressed identically.
In non-Haredi schools today, Israeli school uniforms consist only of shirts with school logos. In summer, the uniform is a simple T-shirt, while in the winter, the shirt worn is a warm sweater or hooded. Though the shirts are uniform, they usually come in different colors, and allow students to customize and express themselves even while wearing a uniform. The shirt is sold for a very small amount of money, so even the less fortunate can get it.
Italy
In Italy, school uniforms are uncommon, in part because child uniforms were associated with the Benito Mussolini era before World War II when children were placed according to their age in the Italian Fascist youth movement and had to wear uniforms inside and outside school.
However, until the early 1960s many high schools required girls to wear black clothing grembiule (like doctor's clothes) on their clothes: no uniforms needed for boys. Maybe this is because at one time high school was the only public school that accepted both sexes (as opposed to high school and elementary school), and girls may be asked to "cover up" so as not to distract their male colleagues. Indeed, this policy was heavily debated during the sexual revolution of the 1960s and later abolished.
Currently, many pre-schools advise parents to dress their children with grembiulino , ie, small grembiule , usually shorter and more colorful, which can be purchased at a price cheap.
Some elementary schools suggest some kind of
Some parents send their children to school at grembiule even if the school does not need it.
Children's poets and writers Gianni Rodari have described adult life as "school without grembiule and school table".
In 2004, the Italian chapter WWF warned that synthetic grembiuli is dangerous for students.
In July 2008, Minister of Education Mariastella Gelmini proposed the reintroduction of the mandatory suits in public schools, which sparked a debate in the Italian press.
Japanese
Japan introduced a school uniform at the end of the 19th century. Today, school uniforms are almost universal in public and private school systems. They are also used in some women's colleges. The Japanese word for uniform is seifuku ( ?? ) .
In most elementary schools, students are not required to wear uniforms to school. Where they are needed, many boys wear white shirts, shorts, and hats. Young boys often dress more formally in their class photos than they do on other days at school. Girl uniforms may include gray pleated skirts and white blouses. Occasionally sailor clothes are used for girls. Uniform codes may vary by season to work with the environment and opportunity. It is common for boys and girls to wear brightly colored hats to prevent traffic accidents. It is normal for uniforms to be worn outside the school area. However, this will come out of fashion and many students wear casual clothes.
Japanese junior and senior high school uniforms traditionally comprise military style for boys and sailors for girls. This uniform is based on the Meiji era of formal military wear, they modeled on European style naval uniforms. Seafarers replace the undivided hakama (andon bakama ???) designed by Utako Shimoda between 1920 and 1930. While this style is still in use, many schools have shifted to more Western parochial school uniform styles. They consist of white shirts, ties, blazers or sweater vests with school emblems, and customized trousers (often not of the same color as a blazer or sweater sweater) for boys and white blouses, ties, blazers with school emblems, and tartan skirt for girls.
Just like the men's uniforms, gakuran, sailor outfits have a resemblance to the military-style naval uniforms. The uniform generally consists of a blouse attached with a sailor-style collar and a pleated skirt. There are seasonal variations for summer and winter: the length of the sleeves and the fabric is adjusted. The ribbon is tied in front and tied through a circle attached to the blouse. Some variations on the ribbon include ties, tie bolo, neckerchiefs, and bows. Common colors are navy blue, white, gray, light green and black.
Shoes, socks, and other accessories are sometimes included as part of the uniform. Socks are usually blue or white. The shoes are usually brown or black penny shoes. Although not part of the uniform prescribed, legwear replacement forms (such as loose socks, knee-length stockings, or similar) are usually paired with more fashionable girls with their sailor's outfits.
Regardless of what particular type of school uniform gives students, all schools have summer versions (usually consisting of white shirts and dark trousers for boys and traditional uniforms or blouses and tartan skirts with ties for girls) and sports-uniform activities (polyester work clothes for year-round use and T-shirts and shorts for summer activities). Depending on the level of their school discipline, students may wear seasonal uniforms and activities in the same classroom during the day. Students may try to subvert the uniform system by using it incorrectly or by adding banned elements such as large socks or loose badges.
Mini skirts have been very popular in Japan, where they became part of school uniforms, and they came to be used in the Kogal culture.
Lebanon
In Lebanon, all private schools need uniforms. Most of the uniforms are made of skirts, shirts, and pull-overs for girls, and for boys it's made of trousers, shirts, and pull-overs. Some public schools there do not need school uniforms.

Malaysia
In Malaysia, school uniforms (Bahasa Melayu: School Uniforms ) are required for all students attending public schools. Western-style school uniforms were introduced to contemporary Malaysia in the late 19th century during the British colonial era. The design is currently standardized starting in January 1970. Today, school uniforms are almost universal in public and private school systems.
Uniforms in Malaysian public schools are as follows:
Students are required to wear white socks and white shoes in uniform above. For reasons of modesty, most schools require female students wearing baju kurung to wear a plain colored camisole underneath.

For the upper form, students generally have to wear a school-specific tie, except those who wear the brackets.
In Malaysia, Muslim girls tend to wear brackets. Most of them started wearing white hoods (Malaysian version of Muslim headscarf or hijab) when entering high school, for religious reasons. Non-Muslim girls tend to wear pinafore. Some non-Muslim girls wearing brackets.
Muslim boys can wear a Malay dress at school on Fridays, often with a songkok hat, to be dressed to go to the mosque for prayers at lunch.
Girls who choose to wear pinafore, especially those attending mixed schools, usually wear shorts under their pinafore to allow carefree gestures because the skirt just covers up to the knees. Those who wear the brackets tend not to wear shorts under their long skirts because their skirts cover their feet.
Ties are often worn by prefects, classroom supervisors, librarians, and other rank students. Some schools have ties as standard problems; even then, ties are generally reserved for school events and public appearances, and not part of the daily school uniforms. The tropical climate makes them uncomfortable.
Students' hairstyles are given attention by schools and the Ministry of Education. Schools do not allow students to color their hair. For boys, there is usually a maximum length allowed, for example, hair should be a few centimeters above the collar, and no sideburns are allowed. Breeding of boy hair rules is often punishable by caning; some offer alternative haircuts that are imposed in school.

Some schools dictate the colors and types of hair accessories that can be used. Some forbid even girls have long hair. Wearing makeup at school is prohibited.
Schools usually enforce their uniform code thoroughly, with regular checkups by teachers and prefects. Students who fail to comply may be warned, given demerit points, publicly punished, sent home from school, or whipped.

It usually consists of the following clothing: for boys, business-style shirts with formal school ties, and trousers or shorts; and for girls, blouses, and plain skirts and/or boxes (usually tartan), and in some schools, especially in the South Island, skirts. Both sexes wear school jersey 'official'. Blazers and jackets have a variety of colors to suit the school - dark or light blue, gray, dark red, dark red, green or black. Some follow the English practice of having contrasting creeping colors on the collar and jacket sections. Hats have generally been discarded since the 1970s but in many elementary schools there is a mandatory wide-floppy hat, in school colors, to help prevent sunburn. Where shorts are worn, boys are usually asked to wear long dark socks, which may require a garter to hold them. Since 1990 an increase in the number of schools including sandals as standard summer footwear.
During the 1980s and 1990s there was a tendency for traditional uniforms to be replaced with cheaper and more 'modern' options: polo shirts, polar fleece tops, or complete removal of uniforms that supported mufti. Middle schools usually provide a skirt or cotton option for girls and sometimes shorts while boys will wear shorts. Bicycle shorts or tights are sometimes worn under women's skirts and dresses. Some high schools have introduced trousers as an option for girls rather than skirts, but low demand with some Christchurch high schools estimates that only 1% of girls in each school wear trousers.
Nigeria

There are usually no uniforms at universities and progressive schools except uniforms used in P.E classes, and in certain schools such as Santo Tomas University.
Common school uniforms for base level are usually white, short sleeves, buttoned shirts, with long skirts for girls and knee-length brown trousers for boys.

Polish
School uniforms are not required in Poland and do not exist in most Polish schools. The idea of ​​a school uniform in Poland did not exist before the beginning of the 20th century. In the Polish Republic, uniforms were no longer required in most schools during the 1980s due to economic problems. Since then, there has been only one attempt to reintroduce the uniforms to Polish schools - by former education minister Roman Giertych, in 2006. It was then decided that school uniforms would not be enacted by the state across the country, but would be a matter decided by the head school each school. Initially this was intended to permit only dress codes, but this was later modified in 2007 to address school uniforms. Beginning in 2007, all primary and secondary schools enforce compulsory uniform, while high school and other forms of continuing education are given the option of self-determination. The emergence of school uniforms was decided locally, meaning that the "uniform" in most schools consisted of a jacket or shirt only - chosen by pure school management to avoid breaking the rules (the remainder of the clothes still dependent on the student to decide). By mid 2008, school uniforms must be repealed and remain so to this day.
Republic of Ireland
In the Republic of Ireland, almost all primary and secondary schools require the use of compulsory uniforms. These can vary from school to school but for the most part include trousers for men and skirts or pinafore for female students jumper shirts and ties. In recent years many schools offer long pants options as well for female students. Some schools need a blazer rather than a jumper. Some elementary schools now let their children wear school clothes rather than formal uniforms.
In recent years there have been criticisms, including by the Department of Education the requirements of school uniform jumper should have a school symbol or name imprinted on it and its practice, where school uniforms can only be purchased from certain suppliers, which can significantly increase the price uniform. As well as the rules on uniform use many schools have regulations on hair, footwear, facial hair growth for men, makeup wear and long skirt school. Since the late 90s students are no longer required to wear uniforms during state exams.
Russian
During the Soviet period, standard "universal" school uniforms were worn by all schools. Originally from a military style with a peaked cap and a high-collared tunic, in the 1980s children wore a functionally dark blue pattern with a shoulder patch identifying the school. For official occasions like the first day of the semester, girls wear white lace collars and aprons dating from the reign of Catherine the Great. During the early post-Soviet period from 1994 to 2013, uniform policies must be abandoned and students generally wear casual clothes such as jeans, T-shirts and sweaters. However, the uniforms are reintroduced under the new education law by September 2013. Among the advocates of the new 2013 uniform law, arguments include overcoming social inequality, but also ending the controversial issue of whether school students are allowed to use traditional religion. clothes to school.
Each school can now choose its own uniform. Also, there are many instances where schools do not enforce regulations on school uniforms
South Africa
As in many other former British colonies, all South African private and public schools have uniforms, and it is mandatory in all public schools and in most private schools for children above pre-school level. Uniform types vary less between public and private schools than in cross-border areas, where rural schools are more likely to not use everyday clothes and/or blazers for boys and girls regardless of their public or private nature. However, many of these same schools will have a "number" uniform for special occasions that include those items. In cities like Cape Town, on the other hand, it is more common to see the formal attire needed in public and private schools every day.
Many schools in South Africa also provide a choice between summer and winter uniforms, with khakis and brown shoes that are very common in summer. The South African law has not required gender neutrality in school dress code and differences between girls 'and boys' uniforms persist. Boys of all ages are usually required to wear slacks or shorts of gray or khaki with socks, and socks are usually long when worn with shorts, as in the illustration (right). Until now, rower straws are a common accessory in the affluent public and private schools, although this has now become optional in some cases.
Almost all schools, public or fee payments, have sports kits (uniforms) that require bare feet for health reasons, regardless of the season.
South Korea
Almost all South Korean students wear uniforms called " gyobok " (Korean: ??, ??). The majority of primary schools, with the exception of private schools, do not have uniforms; Uniforms, however, are closely monitored from early high school. Based on Western style, South Korean uniforms usually consist of shirts, blazers and ties, with skirts (which can be replaced with trousers in most schools today, skirts recently sparked controversy due to shortening trends over the years) for girls and trousers for boys.
Recently, uniforms are often worn by celebrities who target younger, adolescent audiences to sell entertainment products. School uniforms and schools are often used as a place for romance. As a result, the uniform has become something similar to the fashion expressions among students.
Label names used usually have different colors per level. Often the writing is black or white, while the background is colored.
Spanish
In Spain, the use of school uniforms is not mandatory in public schools at any stage. Its use depends on the school board involving parents. However, it is customary to wear a uniform at a private school, where girls usually wear uniforms and skirts and boys wear white shirts and ties and sometimes jackets.
Sri Lanka
It is compulsory for Sri Lankan school students to wear uniforms regardless of those attending government, semi-government or private schools. In most government and semi-government schools, boys will wear short-sleeved short and short-sleeved white shirts when they are in junior class. It will later transition into white shorts and then to white pants to the end of the school life. Ties are not always worn, but can be worn for special school events along with long-sleeved shirts.

In privately run schools, the settings are very similar but the colors may be different. Starting from khaki and dark green to bright blue.

Girl uniforms are equipped with white socks and black school shoes. Student names, numbers, and school names are often embroidered on a blouse or shirt. Some independent or international schools have uniforms that are more similar to British school uniform standards, and boys in high school are allowed to wear trousers. The standard gown for children in kindergarten is a red skirt and white blouse for girls, and red shorts and a white shirt for boys. In every Thai school, one day per week, usually Wednesday, is dedicated to stalking, when the beige Boy Scout uniform for boys and the dark green guide uniform is the rule, both wearing a yellow tie.
Student hairstyles are also given attention by schools and the Ministry of Education. Men are not allowed to have long hair. Some forbid even girls have long hair. Use of accessories is prohibited for men, while women are sometimes allowed to use simple accessories. Some schools dictate the colors and types of hair accessories that women can use. All students are prohibited from dyeing their hair or having tattoos on any body part.

Uniforms vary in their appearance; elementary school using one-piece blue uniforms, while in high school and high school, boys wear dark gray trousers with white shirts, jackets and ties.

School uniforms are removed in 2012 and schools provide polls to families to choose uniforms or regular attire. The dress code says that students' shoulders should be closed, girls should not wear leggings or miniskirts. This caused controversy in Western cities as some students wore mini, shorts and leggings. The new law says that students can wear the hijab at school but are prohibited from wearing makeup, tattoos, piercings, dyes and others. It also caused great controversy.
School uniforms have a long history in Turkey. They were first introduced because normal clothing would provide clues about the family's economic situation. To prevent grouping among children from different social classes, uniforms are accepted.
However, the school uniform was officially removed on November 27, 2012, when the Turkish Education Ministry suddenly abolished the requirements of national uniforms in schools (international/foreign schools excluded) and lifted the headscarf ban for imam-hatip religious schools, triggering criticism hard from opposition parties, unions and educators. Opponents claim that economic differences lead to pedagogical trauma for children and that allowing the veil harms secular education. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdo - defended the move, saying uniformed education has attracted many complaints over the years. But students who attend minority schools (Greek, Jewish, and Armenian), who are also part of the Turkish Ministry of Education, have been excluded from this change, and still have to wear school uniforms.

Uniforms are required in many schools in the United Arab Emirates.
In June 2013, the Abu Dhabi Education Board standardized uniforms for students in public schools in Abu Dhabi. [1] Previously, every school had its own uniform.

United Kingdom
Despite the British public school uniform, there is no law enforcing it in any of three separate legal jurisdictions from the UK & amp; Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, and the enforcement of school uniform policies and dress code generally to define the schools individually. However, schools should consider equality legislation in dress policy to prevent discrimination on grounds such as age, gender, race, disability, religion or belief and sexual orientation. The school uniform should be similar to the cost for boys and girls, for a fairly low cost, and to tolerate religious freedom, for example allowing Sikh men to wear turbans and Muslim women to wear the hijab. To ensure that policies are fair and non-discriminatory schools are expected to consult widely with staff, students, parents and governors when introducing or changing clothing policies.
English
In 2011, more than 90% of English language schools have compulsory uniforms. School uniforms were first introduced on a large scale during the reign of King Henry VIII. The uniform of the time was called "bluecoats", as they consisted of long jackets with blue raincoats. Blue is the cheapest dye available and shows humility among all children. The first school to introduce this uniform was the Christ Hospital in London (now in Sussex).
The Basic Education Act of 1870 introduced free primary education for all children. Uniform popularity is increasing and eventually most schools have uniforms. During this period most uniforms reflect the age trend, with boys wearing shorts and blazers until about the age of puberty and then trousers from about 14 or 15. Girls mainly wear blouses, tunic and pinafore gowns, advancing into the gymlips towards the beginning 20th century. used together with a blouse.
This uniform continued until the 1950s when Butler reformed secondary education was made free and the age of leaving school was raised to 15. This reform encouraged schools to implement a code uniform similar to that of other schools. Different "summer" and "winter" uniforms are sometimes needed, especially for girls, who are mandated for summer and gymlips for the winter.
In the 21st century, ordinary elementary school uniforms are quite relaxed while high school uniforms are often formal. Primary school uniforms are generally polo shirts or T-shirts, jumperes with school logos, and trousers or shorts or skirts. Middle school uniforms are generally blazers, white shirts or blouses, ties, trousers or skirts, and black shoes. However, elementary schools can also be more formal, with ties and blazers, and for high school it only takes a jumper. Uniforms sometimes match the color of the school but most often found in blue, black and gray.
Scotland
Scottish law is not specific to the issue of school uniform. Generally, schools should provide information about their policies on clothing and uniforms and the Education Authority should provide written information on the general policy regarding wearing school uniforms. Some Education Authorities do not require students who wear uniforms as a prerequisite to attend and take part in curricular activities.
Children can not be disciplined for not wearing uniforms if their parents do not want their child to wear them. However, a child who simply refuses to wear school uniforms can be disciplined by the school if it thinks that academic or disciplinary problems may be caused by a refusal. Many schools have policies that include the use of school clothes. The policy may state that the goods,
