Meet in form. School uniforms around the world. UK school uniform
Probably, the first thing we associate with the British school is the uniform. In all decent schools it has existed for a long time and serves as a distinction: the more elite the institution, the cooler and more formal their school uniform is. In London, I spent the whole day walking around about a dozen schools, talking to teachers, looking at buildings and children. I will talk about this adventure later.
Photographing children, especially at school, is very difficult. Yes, and it's forbidden. The advantage is that in London, a person with a camera around his neck is ignored so you can easily take belly photos on the go.
London schoolchildren are lucky in the sense that they have at their side best museums in the world which teachers use. There are always several groups of schoolchildren in galleries and museums during the day. They have lunch with them, which they eat on the lawn.

4. Despite the cold weather, although many children are wearing jackets, their legs are not covered. Unusual for Russia. 
5. Elite schools are dominated by the white population, while ordinary schools are the opposite. Although it is not customary to talk about it - tolerance.
6. Sitting on the grass is an indispensable attribute of England. The director of one of the schools in Brighton, conducting a tour of the building, was asked where is the canteen, answered: "On the football field. Or in the assembly hall, if it's cold."

8. Guys from QEH School. Cost of education: 400,000 rubles per year. 
9. In expensive schools, teachers are more often men. 
10. Either Nike or Adidas. No other is given. 
11. London has a famous city school for boys. A separate building was built for girls, there is no uniform and no elite. 
12. The British always lift their socks as high as possible. 
13. Beautiful. The locals don't seem to care about the rain. While tourists, wrapped in jackets and scarves, hide under umbrellas. 
14.
15. In museums, lessons are held right on the floor in the corridor. And only impudent Chinese interrupt the usual school day.

So, what is often found in the form of young Britons:
colors: dark blue, dark green, red, black gray
top: shirt, polo, tie, jumper, jacket
bottom: trousers, shorts
shoes: shoes, sneakers, socks under shorts.
I emphasized what I like and what is not in Russia. I think it's worth expressing your opinion about the school uniform. I am for school uniform if she looks like this effectively and sits like this comfortable that there is nothing to even compare with clothes from M&S. Well design should be thought out to the smallest detail: to the stripes on the socks, to every seam and fold. Only then will they be happy to wear it. Examples: 1, 13 and 16 photos.
Since this year, (not) respected Putin has introduced a mandatory form in schools. Wherever I studied, it was already there, but now it seems to be stricter. I don’t know exactly how the form is chosen, but it seems to me that the head teacher (director) just goes to the market and sees what she likes best. Because almost all schools in Russia have the most terrible form of incomprehensible origin, which by no means shows the elite of the institution.
Therefore, the output is different - do not care. If you don't have super-cool uniforms, then you can wear anything (within reason). You can see how they go at my school in my Instagram. And everyone is happy.
P.S. I don't like Zaitsev's new uniform.

School uniforms are used in many European countries. School uniform determines belonging to a particular educational institution in some countries, while in others it is recognized as a national norm.
It is worth noting that it was England that became the legislator of the tradition of wearing a school uniform. The first school uniform in England, which appeared in the middle of the sixteenth century, was made of blue material. This color was used in the manufacture of the form, because it was supposed to teach the child to humility. Plus to this fact was also the cheapness of the material.
In terms of historical scale, Great Britain at that moment was a fairly large country where it became mandatory to wear uniforms. This was due to the fact that England was a colonial country (Ireland, Australia, Cyprus and others). But, despite the fact that over time the independence of the state was obtained, in a large number of institutions the form was nevertheless left. Now the English school uniform is used not only in elementary schools, but also in popular universities, where it is always prestigious to study.
Everyone knows that England is a country of conservatives, so if we trace the modification of special clothing to this day, we can see one common line - the uniform of English schoolchildren has always been close to clothes in the classic style.
For a long period of time, boys in the UK wore the following clothes as a uniform: it was a blazer-type jacket, under which a gray flannel shirt was worn (in warm weather, for example, in summer or in honor of any holiday, a white shirt was already worn); depending on the season - dark gray trousers or long shorts of the same color; golfs are again gray; conservative dark blue raincoat and black shoes (boots); in the cold, there was an additional pullover with a triangular neckline. Naturally, there was the presence of the logo of the school, which was placed on a branded cap and tie.
Based on the above, it turns out that the concept of a school uniform included not only one suit, but it was outerwear, as well as small details, up to socks. Great Britain generally honors its traditions with a special mood, so wearing a uniform will always remain one of the elements of an already established way of life. School uniforms in English schools are always available in every institution, which is also stored there and is obtained by students absolutely free of charge.
After the appearance of the first uniform in the United Kingdom, there was still no law that made the education system mandatory, so special clothing was introduced in a gradual manner. The year 1870 was marked by changes, then a law was passed that obligated all British people to primary education. Accordingly, the percentage of students with whom it was necessary to somehow cope increased. School uniforms have become tools for developing discipline among students, and also contributed to the formation of the necessary relationships between students. So everything large quantity schools began to use uniforms common to all.
At the present stage in England there are standards that are unconditional, which include school uniforms. What kind of school uniform in Britain depends, of course, on the characteristics of each educational institution. In some places, there is a practice of separating the age category, where for boys under the age of fourteen, shorts are an element of the school uniform, and for older ones it is trousers. Seasonal clothing is also included, girls can wear lighter dresses in summer, and in autumn everyone dresses in sundresses made of warm material.
If we go back to history, then the school uniform was originally created for the poor. But private schools gradually began to appear, but in their case, the school uniform, on the contrary, served not to ensure the equality of students, but in order to have a distinctive feature that emphasized their belonging to the highest elite class. Now this element turns into an object of authority.
At the same time, certain rules are invented that determine the prestige within the educational institution. A clear number of buttons is fastened on the blazer, the headpiece is worn at a certain slope, the laces in the shoes are laced in the specified way, the bag is worn by two handles or one. This was invisible to ordinary citizens, but for each student in the school it was a determination of the place of each in the hierarchy of the institution. The school uniform has been fully adapted to the British climate.
A lot of colleges are located in the English city of Cambridge. School uniforms vary from school to school. Below is a more detailed description of the school uniform of some schools in England. A large number of educational institutions provides a wide variety of school uniform options, but the emblem of the educational institution, which is placed on various items of clothing - ties, jackets, caps, always remains an integral and main element.
The school, which is located in White City in London, Burlington Danes has its own distinctive feature from other schools, which is quite interesting. For the manufacture of school clothes, special reflective Orafol elements are used, which during twilight or night are capable of reflecting the headlights of cars moving along the road. Thus, the state provides its students with increased security. Very original and well thought out. The color scheme can also have bright shades, such as red or green.
Girls wear classic jackets, under which a gingham shirt is worn, with a mid-length knee-length skirt and white stockings, which complements the overall look of the school uniform. Boys, on the other hand, wear blazers, under which they wear a white shirt with a set collar, always with a striped tie. Pants are close to the same classics. The school emblem is usually embroidered on the left chest of the jacket, or a badge is attached to its turned-down collar.
The London School of Elizabeth Andersen Garett does provide an excellent opportunity to express their wishes and creative abilities to their students. They are invited to participate actively in the development of school clothing options. This ensures that the wishes of each child are taken into account, as a result of which it is possible to achieve the creation of a school outfit that is very comfortable and elegant. Various colors are used.
In clothes, they find a combination of colors that are more muted and calm with inserts of elements of bright colors. Girls can walk in both strict jackets and jackets that have a looser cut. Skirts are also available to choose from - medium, long, as well as short in compliance with the rules of decency. For guys, under a blazer it is not necessary to wear a shirt with a collar, but you can get by with a light T-shirt. Shoes must be low-soled, for girls it is a moccasin type of shoe, for boys - shoes with laces.
Pupils at Mere Brau School in Tarlenton, Lankshire, wear jackets made by School Carlos. This is an amazing clothing that is aimed at combating environmental problems, as it is completely made from recycled polyester. To sew such a jacket, you need to use thirty plastic bottles. Such clothes appeared in stores in 2008. Naturally, guys under such a jacket wear strict trousers and a light shirt. Girls have a similar costume, only the trousers are replaced by strict knee-length skirts. Sometimes they have a pleated style, which is typical for the clothes of English ladies. Ties are worn by everyone here, regardless of the student's gender.
School Nottingham Academy has its own peculiarity, like other schools in the UK. There is still a tradition that has come a long time ago. Despite the fact that the style of clothing has become more free, the shirt does not have to be white, but light shades. Light gray trousers and a dark blue jacket remained virtually unchanged, as did the straw hat, which is a characteristic feature of this school. The shoes appear to be black lace-up shoes that have a classic look.
Uniforms are not compulsory in all British schools, but there are very few of them. It is allowed to come to school in casual and comfortable clothes, the main thing is that the uniform looks decent and is limited by the boundaries of decency. In modern school clothes, an accessory such as a scarf is often used, which must fully match the color scheme of the school uniform.
The school uniform is a fairly convenient option for group teams, which contributes to the consolidation of the student society, ensures the pursuit of common goals and cause. Thus, the competing feeling between students disappears if there is an inequality between them at the level of finances. And also the school uniform allows you to identify the student's belonging to the school educational institution.
The school uniform, which is produced for students in England at the present stage, is sure to suit everyone, since the variety of its options allows, for all its traditional character, to preserve the individuality of the student.

Introduction
Learning a foreign language includes not only the study of new words, grammar rules, it is very important to get acquainted with the countries of the language being studied, their inhabitants, traditions.
I have been studying English since the second grade and I have always been very interested in learning more about people living in the UK, their interests, customs and traditions.
This year, one of the topics we discussed in our English lessons was “school”. In one of the lessons we learned that in England school uniforms are compulsory, moreover, students wear them with pride. This statement intrigued me. I wanted to know what kind of uniform English schoolchildren have.
Object of studyis the school uniform of schools in England.
Research objectives:
- expand knowledge about the UK;
- to increase interest in the culture and customs of Great Britain;
- learn about the school uniform of English schools, its traditions;
- consider the diversity of the given topic.
Research methods:
- work with scientific literature;
- searching for information on the Internet.
Historical reference.
School uniform - everydayform clothes for students during their stay inschool and at formal school events outside of school.
England is the first country in the world to have a school uniform. It happened during the reign of the kingHenry VIII in the middle of the 16th century. Soldier uniforms were taken as a basis. This uniform was a long cloak-coat in blue. Blue paint at that time was the cheapest and most affordable, and was supposed to indicate humility to children.
The first school to introduce this form wasChrist Hospital . It was a charity school for boys from poor families.
IN 1870 school uniforms were adopted in most English schools. At that time, Great Britain was a large country and owned colonies in Australia, Cyprus, Ireland and Canada, in the eastern part of North America. Uniforms have also become mandatory in schools in these countries. The school uniform acted as a tool that develops discipline among students, and also contributed to the formation of relations between students.
England is a country where traditions are valued, this is reflected in the appearance of schoolchildren. For a very long time, the uniform for boys was: a blazer jacket, a gray flannel shirt (white in summer or on holidays), dark gray trousers or shorts, gray stockings, a dark blue raincoat, black boots. In cold weather, they wore a V-neck pullover, a cap with the school logo and a company tie.
However, over time, there were schools on a private fee basis. In this case, the school uniform was needed not to equate all students, but on the contrary, to show their attitude to a higher stratum of society. At the same time, some rules for wearing a school uniform are determined, which allow determining the prestige of a student within a school institution. For example, a designated number of buttons is fastened on a jacket, or a uniform cap is worn at a certain angle; shoe laces are laced in a special way; a school bag is worn over the shoulder or worn by one handle and so on. This may not have been noticed by ordinary passers-by, but among their own it showed a certain hierarchy.
In English schools where school uniforms are accepted, there are always different sizes available. It is issued to students belonging to this educational institution for free.
Currently, not only in schools, but also in universities in England, pupils and students must wear a uniform.
School uniform in modern England
The UK is the largest European country that has a school uniform,
To date, the form of students in Britain looks something like this:
- A strict jacket, blazer or sweater with the emblem of the educational institution;
- A shirt that matches the color of the school uniform;
- Strict tie (for both girls and boys);
- Strict trousers for boys, long and strict skirts for girls;
- Patent leather shoes for boys, shoes with a small heel for girls.
The introduction of school uniforms in modern Britain is justified by the fact that representatives of the Ministry of Education believe that a single style of school uniform helps to maintain discipline, and also affects the positive behavior of the student. Also, the school uniform blurs the line between students of all races and classes.
It is worth noting that in many schools the student parliament is directly involved in the creation and development of the school uniform style, which instills responsibility in students from a young age. Young designers are developing a form that will determine the overall look and prestige of the school.
Each school in the United Kingdom has its own color and emblem. Pupils wear the emblem, of course, on jackets, jumpers, dresses, and the color is displayed in a tie, which today has become an indispensable attribute of the modern form of English schoolchildren. But the differences in the form of students are not only in this ...
And yet, it is different!
You will never confuse students from two different UK schools. Because with a fairly strong unification of the form, it still differs significantly in different schools. This is due to the vision of the leadership of each of them as a necessary (or sufficient) measure of comfort for the child, with adherence to historical traditions, with the school belonging to the number of elite educational institutions, etc.
And here are some examples:
Christ's Hospital School (Christ Hospital School)
Co-educational independent private school (for boys and girls).
The first school "cassocks" have remained in history, but until now, students of Christ's Hospital School wear the same cut as 400-500 years ago. True to tradition, the British left it as an everyday school dress that is worn on weekdays. Here, girls and girls are required to wear long skirts and closed jackets with long sleeves. Boys and young men wear cropped trousers (like breeches) with yellow golfs, over which they put on a long frock coat, in fact, very reminiscent of the attire of a pastor. True, a hundred years ago, a student was required to wear such a uniform all the time, even when traveling to another city, and now students just go to class in it. Such uniforms are a surprising exception these days, and the students of Christ's Hospital School are very proud of their ancient - they say "ancient" - attire.
Burlington Danes Academy Burlington Danes School)
When making a school uniform, a special insert from a reflective element called Orafol is used. This is a very good move, since at night the form is able to reflect the car headlights of cars that are moving along the road. This shows that the state cares about its students, thus increasing security.
The colors are dominated by red and emerald. For girls, a classic jacket is typical, a shirt in a small cage is put on under it, and a skirt is worn to the knee and white stockings. A beret completes the uniform ensemble as a great addition. For boys, all the same blazers are provided, under which you can see a light shirt and put on a striped tie. Pants are almost classic type. The left chest of the jacket is adorned with the school's emblem, and badges pinned to the lapel of the collar can also be used.
Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School(Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School)
IN London School Elizabeth Garrett Andersonschoolchildren are given a unique opportunity to express their creative ideas and wishes regarding school uniforms. So, each student takes part in the creation of a unique uniform. Thus, it is possible to take into account the individual wishes of each child and create a school outfit that will not only be comfortable, but also original in appearance. For tailoring, the most diverse palette is used. The shape itself can be more subdued in color, but some inserts will be full of the brightest colors.
Girls are allowed to wear a looser cut blazer instead of the usual and more strict jacket. Also, there is no strict restriction on the length of the skirt, however, in the case of short skirts, it is necessary to observe the rules of decency. Boys can wear a regular white or light-colored t-shirt under a blazer. Shoes for everyone have a low sole, girls wear moccasins, boys wear shoes with laces.
Eton College (Eton)
Eton is the most prestigious, highly privileged private school for boys, where only children from the wealthiest families in the UK study.
Girls are not accepted there, so only men's uniforms are assumed. Today it is: an old-fashioned frock coat, "morning" trousers, a bow tie and the most extravagant waistcoat that you can get.
Harrow School (Harrow School)
Another old English school for boys. A distinctive feature of the school uniform is a hat. The students of this school wear top hats in winter and straw hats in summer. The shirt does not have to be white, but light shades. Light gray trousers and a dark blue jacket. The shoes are black lace-up shoes that have a classic look.
The Cheltenham Ladies" College (Cheltenham Women's College)
Cheltenham is exclusively for girls. Students wear knee-length skirts (no trousers) and green jumpers.
Tudor Hall School (School Tudor - Hall)
Tudor Hall School is a women's school where not everyone is accepted: high academic performance and a good background are assumed. Form: green plaid skirt, green blazer and pale blue jumper.
Anthony Gell School (Anthony Gell)
Still, in England there are schools where it is allowed to attend classes not in school uniform. It is allowed to come to school in comfortable decent everyday clothes. These include the Anthony Jell School, where school uniforms have been abolished.
However, in general, such phenomena are the exception rather than the rule. Perhaps that is why they are so conspicuous. The general impression testifies precisely to uniformity, order and tradition in every British school.
School uniform in Russia
In our country, school uniforms for boys were introduced only in the middle of the 19th century, and for girls at the end of the 19th century. The uniform of the boys originally had a semi-military look. Similar in style, caps and caps, trousers and coats, overcoats and half-caftan uniforms, and later, shirts, blouses, gymnasts, differed in color, piping, as well as buttons and emblems. The general form of the form has changed several times. The main color of the gymnasium uniform was dark green, then blue in all its shades, gray was rare. Pupils in gymnasiums wore closed brown dresses with a high collar and aprons - black on school days and white on holidays. The dress uniform was complemented by a white turn-down collar and a straw hat. In private women's gymnasiums and boarding schools, the uniform could be of different colors (coffee, white, blue, gray). After the revolution of 1917, the unified school uniform was abolished, and introduced again after the end of the Great Patriotic War in 1948.
At present, a single uniform for secondary schools and educational institutions in Russia has not been adopted, although wearing a school uniform as a set of style items for students within each particular school is mandatory. The decision to wear certain items of school uniforms with one or another established color or symbolism is usually taken at the level of individual schools, their boards of trustees, parents and teachers.
Conclusion
A single school uniform plays a significant role in the life of a student. It does not allow the development of subcultures at school, the level of income of parents is not visible by clothes, children and students get used to the official style of clothing that will be needed at work in the future, students feel like a single team, a single team.
I would like to note that in modern Russia there is no single school uniform. In educational institutions that do not have a school uniform, there are rules for wearing business-style clothes. In our school, business attire is also required for students. And although our class is very friendly, and we do not have a division of children into poor and rich, I would really like it to be customary to wear a single uniform in my school. I think that all pupils, both first-graders and graduates, put it on with pleasure, felt pride in their appearance and felt their involvement in our school.
http://www.intem.ru/sc/uz/583/Do you know how schoolchildren in other countries dress?
How the current schoolchildren of the former huge country dress and what is the attitude to this school uniform now, we already know firsthand.
We all have different opinions, we all have different moods, and everyone remains with his own. And yet, the time when the students of Ancient Greece put on a chlamys over chitons, and in Ancient India it was mandatory to wear dhoti hip pants and a kurta shirt even in extreme heat, is not so far away. And the tradition of dressing in a special uniform that distinguishes non-student children from students, whatever one may say, has remained. Although in Russia of the 19th century it was not considered shameful to walk in a gymnasium uniform after school, and was even encouraged. But ... times are running, years are passing, and now France, Germany and a good half of Europe have already canceled any form at all, and colorful kids are dragging colorful satchels, blowing chewing bubbles.
But still traditions remain and manners remain. Let's see how and what the students of those countries in which the school uniform has not been canceled are dressed. We will see what is unusual in such clothes, or we will feel nostalgia. And we will see that one can even be proud of “one’s own” school and one’s school uniform.
In our opinion, it’s not bad at all to have your own style, your own emblem, your own distinction and be disciplined in everything.
Japan
School uniforms appeared in Japan at the end of the 19th century. At present, school uniforms are available in most private and public schools, but there is no single style and color scheme.
Japanese schoolgirls, 1920, 1921
In the early 20s of the 20th century, European-style sailors entered the women's school fashion. Oriental culture lovers call them in Japanese style seifuku or sailor fuku (sailor suit). Such dresses were ordered from a certain manufacturer only for students of a particular school. Sailor shorts were and still are popular in many schools, but they all differ in cut and color details.
Often on the Internet you can find images of high school girls in very short uniform skirts. Naturally, the uniform is not sewn with such short skirts, schoolgirls shorten them themselves. Fashion for short school skirts appeared in the early 90s under the influence of the popular Japanese pop singer Nami Amuro. Basically, tucking from above and pulling with a belt, and from above the collar and belt are closed with a jacket, jacket or vest. In this form, Japanese schoolgirls defile, as a rule, from home to school, and before entering the educational institution, skirts fall to the required length. While in the 70-80s in the Soviet school, young fashionistas (and their mothers) shortened their uniforms forever, cutting off the “extra” length and hemming the hem.
Sri Lanka
In all public and most private schools in Sri Lanka, students wear a school uniform.
The uniform for boys consists of a white short-sleeved shirt and blue shorts (up to grade 10, about 15 years old). On ceremonial occasions, a white long-sleeved shirt and white shorts are worn. Boys over 10th grade wear trousers instead of shorts.
The school uniform for girls differs from school to school, however, as a rule, it consists entirely of white matter. Possible differences: dress with short sleeves or without sleeves, with or without a collar. A white dress usually comes with a tie.
Below is an example of a uniform in a Muslim school in Sri Lanka
Magical purple and the girls look happy
Butane
The school uniform of Bhutan is a variant of the traditional national dress called "gho" for boys and "kira" for girls. Each school has its own color scheme.
Cuba
In Cuba, the form is mandatory, and not only for schoolchildren, but also for students. By the color of the school uniform, you can determine in which grade the child is studying.
There are three main types of form.
Junior classes - burgundy and white. Girls dress in burgundy sundresses and white blouses. Boys wear burgundy trousers with white shirts. Both boys and girls wear kerchief ties in the style of those worn by Soviet schoolchildren. True, in Cuba, ties are not only red, but also blue.
Middle classes - white top and yellow bottom. For girls, these are yellow skirts, and for boys, trousers. The girls also wear tall white socks under their sunny skirts. This version of the uniform is for older students.
Senior classes - shades of blue, or rather, a blue top and a dark blue bottom. Everything is also for girls - a skirt with a blouse, for boys - a shirt with trousers
North Korea
Students in North Korea are like Soviet pioneers. The main integral accessory to the school uniform is a red tie, a symbol of the communist movement. There is no single uniform standard.
Vietnam
Uniforms in Vietnam may vary depending on the school or area where the school is located. But, as a rule, the most common form is a light top, a dark bottom and a red tie in the manner of a pioneer. This uniform is worn by elementary and middle school students. High school girls wear the traditional national clothes Aozai (a long silk shirt worn over pants) in white. High school students prefer dark pants and white shirts, but without a tie. In remote villages, school uniforms are not worn.
Girls dressed in Aozai look very elegant
Traditional clothes are not only beautiful, but also comfortable.
England
In modern England, each school has its own uniform. School symbols and a certain style are widely used here, which distinguish students. Moreover, in prestigious schools in England, uniforms are a matter of pride. Jackets, trousers, ties and even socks should in no case deviate from a given tradition. This is considered not just a violation, but also disrespect for a particular educational institution.
Below are the most interesting, in our opinion, schools in England.
The King's School in Macclesfield
The Ryleys Preparatory School
Cheadle Hulme School
Eton College
Guys, we put our soul into the site. Thanks for that

On the question of whether a single school uniform is needed, one can argue to the point of hoarseness. Proponents of the dress code believe that it maintains discipline in the classroom, encourages cohesion and equality. Yes, and parents do not have a headache, what to dress the child in. Opponents argue that this approach to clothing kills individuality and has little effect on the learning process.
website offers not to argue, but simply to see what children in different countries of the world go to school in. Many options look quite stylish and practical, evaluate for yourself.
Japan
Japanese school uniform for girls "sera-fuku" occupies a special place in anime cartoons and manga comics and is known throughout the world. A navy-style blouse plus a pleated skirt that gets shorter in high school. Low-heeled shoes and stockings are required, which are worn even in winter. So that they do not slip, schoolgirls glue them to their feet with special glue.
Great Britain
In England everything is strict with the school dress code. The very first uniform was blue. It was believed that this color teaches children to be organized and humble, but it was also the cheapest fabric. Now each institution has its own form and symbolism. Until now, in some schools, everything is so severe that even in the heat it is forbidden to wear shorts. This summer, schoolboys went on strike and came in skirts. Many schools have since introduced gender-neutral school uniforms.
Australia
The Australian education system has borrowed a lot from the UK. The school uniform is very reminiscent of the British, only lighter and more open. Due to the hot climate and the active sun, many educational institutions include hats or panama hats in the uniform.
Cuba
In Cuba, the school uniform is presented in several variations: white top - yellow bottom, blue top - blue bottom. As well as white shirts and burgundy sundresses or trousers with an obligatory element - a pioneer tie well known to Soviet schoolchildren. True, it can be not only red, but also blue.
Indonesia
In Indonesia, students' uniforms differ in color at each stage of training. The white top remains unchanged, but the bottom can be burgundy, dark blue or gray. But the most interesting is saved for last. After passing national exams, schoolchildren celebrate their freedom and paint the shape with the help of felt-tip pens and spray cans. Goodbye, school!
China
Chinese students have several sets of uniforms: for holidays and ordinary days, for winter and summer. The school uniform for everyday wear is almost the same for boys and girls and often resembles a regular tracksuit.
Ghana
All children in the state must wear a school uniform. At the same time, Ghana, like most African countries, is characterized by low incomes and high levels of poverty. Buying a school uniform is one of the barriers to getting an education. In 2010, as part of its educational policy, the government distributed the form free of charge to communities.
Vietnam
The dress code for elementary and middle school is quite common. But high school students in Vietnam have the right to wear snow-white national costume ao dai. In some educational institutions, it is welcomed only for important events or ceremonies, but in some it is also required for everyday wear.
Syria
School uniforms in Syria even before the start of a protracted military conflict for political reasons has been changed from boring khaki to vibrant colors of blue, gray and pink. And it symbolized the desire to establish peace in the Middle East, which is a little sad to hear now.
Butane
Another country where students go to school wear traditional national costume,- Bhutan. For girls, the clothes are called "kira", and for boys - "gho" and resembles a robe. Previously, children carried all textbooks and school supplies right in it. Briefcases are now common, but if you wish, you can hide something on your chest.
South Korea
Children in South Korea study from morning until late at night. It is not surprising that many of them consider school the most romantic place, because they spend most of their lives there. A school dress code is required and regulated by the administration of the educational institution. But the form is popular and just on the streets of the city, and even among celebrities.
