Interesting Facts

Do you remember your school uniform? Did you like her? What did you want to change?

Every student, even in elementary grades, still strives to stand out from the mass of classmates. Bright pens, briefcases, pencil cases, notebooks ... There are many ways to show your individuality, and high school in schools with the optional wearing of a school uniform is very similar to a fashion show or an overview of the latest trends in autumn and winter trends. At the same time, children with an average and low income level are very easy to spot.

The school uniform performs several functions at once:

  1. Pupils receive clothes of the established pattern, which correlate them with the educational institution;
  2. The school uniform promotes equality, discipline, erases social differences, promotes student cohesion and equalizes psychological climate in the classroom and in the educational institution as a whole;
  3. Strengthens the image and prestige of the school.

Say what you like, but a child in a school uniform perceives himself and the educational institution in a completely different way, better adapts to the rules and school order, understands that he represents the school.

V good schools with high level of prestige, children are proud of the fact that they study in this particular place, and even strive to wear a uniform outside of school time.

What does school uniform look like in different countries of the world?

Japan

The school uniform appeared in the country in late XIX century. V different cities and in different schools, the uniform may have options, but the main elements: jacket, bow or tie, shirt, knee-length skirt, nautical (or rather sailor's) motives. Japanese schoolgirls have been struggling with the length of skirts for many decades, tucking them up to "mini", despite strict school rules.

South Korea

Guatemala

Syria, Cuba

The strong influence of the communist ideology is noticeable here, since and today, the school uniform is distinguished by the presence of red pioneer ties and shirts, and in some regions, the boys' school uniform still looks like a military jacket.

Jumpers and shirts, long plaid skirts or trousers in gray, blue, red, dark green or other strict colors are considered the most elegant of all school uniforms in the world.

Kenya

Going to school for Kenyans is a great honor and a great luxury. Extreme poverty and hunger do not allow the construction of suitable buildings, let alone other benefits of civilization. Classes accommodate students from 6 to 28 years old. But even in such conditions, students wear uniforms with pride.

Malaysia

School uniforms appeared here only at the end of the 19th century. Boys do not have a tie, and girls in high school wear a blue or blue skirt to the floor, younger students wear a knee-length sundress and a white blouse. There are several levels of conservatism; in some schools, wearing a hijab is mandatory.

New Zealand, Australia

The uniform of schoolchildren in Australia and New Zealand is as simple and comfortable as possible. Skirt, shorts, jumper or shirt: no strict ironed arrows, jackets or stand-up collar: comfort comes first. Colors: blue, light blue, purple, dark green, sometimes checkered.

School uniform - a necessity or a relic of the past? Serious battles are going on on this topic on the eve of the Day of Knowledge. To give our readers a basis for these disputes, we will talk about how and when the form arose, how this school attribute is treated in different countries and how the British briefcase differs from the Japanese backpack.

The history of the emergence of the school uniform, however, is itself controversial. Some believe that going to an educational institution in the same clothes began in ancient Greece. Students were asked to wear shirts or tunics, light armor, and a cape called a chlamyda. Other historians do not agree with this version of events, they refer to the fact that almost all Greeks wore such clothes, and really strict requirements for school uniforms were presented in Ancient India. No matter how hot it is, the disciple should come wearing a dhoti hip pants and a kurta long shirt.

But as far as Europe is concerned, everything is very clear. The UK is considered the pioneer country in the introduction of school uniforms. For the first time since antiquity, special clothing appeared at Christ's Hospital. Pupils wore dark blue dress coats with folds, waistcoats, bright knee-highs and leather belts. True, then - in 1552 - orphans and children from needy children studied at Christ's Hospital families, and now this school is considered elite. According to a recent survey, even modern students at Christ's Hospital speak positively of school uniforms, although they have not changed for 450 years, schoolchildren perceive them as a tribute to tradition, and not as an outdated attribute.

Pupils of one of the British schools, Harrow, in school uniform

Now in the UK there is no uniform form for all educational institutions. Each school has its own requirements. For example, at Harrow, boys wear straw hats as well as trousers and jackets, and at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the students themselves came up with the design of clothes - gray suits with pink stripes. In the most prestigious educational institutions required element school clothing is considered a logo or coat of arms.

Eton British College students

In other European cities, school uniforms are not so quoted. So, in France, a single school uniform existed only in 1927-1968, in Poland - until 1988, in Germany and Switzerland it resembles tracksuits and was adopted only in some educational institutions.

The example of Great Britain was followed by its former colonies - India, Australia, Singapore and others. There, the school uniform was not abolished even after the recognition of these states as independent. For example, Indian schoolchildren attend classes only in a special uniform: boys - in dark blue trousers and white shirts, girls - in a light blouse and dark blue skirt. In some schools, girls wear saris on holidays.

Another former British colony, Singapore, has not introduced a uniform uniform for all schools. In each educational institution, it differs in color, but consists of classic elements - shorts and light shirts with short sleeves for boys, blouses and skirts or sundresses for girls. The uniforms of some schools are richly decorated with badges or even shoulder straps.

Most Australian and New Zealand students wear school uniforms. In its diversity, it can be compared with the British one. But in schools in Australia, because of the heat, shorts are more often worn than trousers, and hats with wide or narrow brims are worn over their heads.

Australian school students

In another hot country - Jamaica - school uniforms are considered compulsory. In many educational institutions, requirements are imposed not only on the suit, but also on the color of the socks or the height of the heel of the shoes. Jewelry is not welcome, extravagant hairstyles are not. Many boys wear khaki shirts and trousers, and girls wear below the knee sundresses. different colors, complemented by patches with the name of the school.

Another connoisseur of bright shapes are Africans. Here, the school uniform is striking in the variety of shades. Orange, green, purple, yellow - each school chooses its own color.

Queen Elizabeth and the schoolgirls of Jamaica

School uniforms in a sporty style are common not only in Germany, but also in China. So, for the cold season, schoolchildren have a dark windbreaker and trousers, for the summer - a white shirt and shorts for boys, a blouse and a blue skirt for girls. And, often, a red tie!

The country in which the school uniform is more popular than in the UK can be considered Japan. Who among us has not seen the heroines of anime cartoons, dressed in long white knee socks, pleated skirts, jackets and white blouses? Sometimes Japanese students wear a uniform called "sailor fuku" or "sailor suit". Together with her, they put on a bright tie and, as a rule, take with them a massive backpack.

Japanese schoolchildren and schoolgirls

In many private schools in the United States and Canada, the form is considered compulsory, but at the same time in each educational institution it is different. Most often these are outfits of rather restrained colors - blue, gray, dark green. In some schools, girls wear plaid skirts and boys wear striped ties. Shirts with long and short sleeves, cardigans and jackets are also mandatory components of the uniform. The only form in which you will be "admitted" to any American school is the uniform for playing American football.

Schoolgirls of New Orleans

So we got to the school uniform of Russia. It was first introduced in 1834, when in Russian Empire adopted a law on gymnasium and student uniforms. After 62 years, it became compulsory for gymnasium students. Later, the school uniform was canceled, and only in 1949, during the Soviet era, it returned again. Gymnastics with a stand-up collar for boys, brown dresses and aprons for girls, a pioneer tie for everyone is the standard uniform of any Soviet schoolchild.

Now in Russia there is no uniform form, it has been introduced only in some educational institutions. Basically, these are clothes of calm shades, which are allowed to be supplemented with things from everyday wardrobe. She looks more modern than in the days of the USSR, but for the Last Call, female students of Russian schools still prefer to wear white aprons and tie bows, as their mothers did.

Every fourth English student does not have to worry about what to wear for class. The solution to this problem has long been the school uniform - an approved set of clothing for boys and girls in Western high schools.

At different times, the school uniform in different countries looked different. Until recently, ironed-on jackets and shirts with starched collars, quirky knee-highs and formal skirts were associated with elite educational institutions for the children of wealthy parents. And it is difficult to imagine that the original school uniform was intended for poor children who had nothing to go to school at the Shelter of Christ. Their coats were of blue color because in the 16th century, blue dye was the cheapest. Since then, schools where students wear blue coats have been called Bluecoat schools. But even such a conservative UK tends to abandon certain traditions and styles. So, at the end of the 20th century in many educational institutions striped blazers were replaced by plain ones, because the "stripes" were too expensive.

And the privileged private school Eton School, where only boys from the richest families or heirs of the royal court can study, abandoned school uniforms back in the late 60s. The Eaton student's outfit looked like this: a wide white starched collar, a vest and a short black jacket. Today this school uniform is worn in specialized boys' choir schools.

At another private school, Sevenoaks School, which is one of the three oldest schools in England, all students are required to wear a uniform. Boys aged 7 to 11 wear blazers and trousers, girls - blazers and kilts. Going to the sixth grade, the guys put on special costumes. The uniform is also provided for playing activities. A set of clothes can be bought at the school's special store or on its website.


The American version of the school uniform is different for private and public schools. In ordinary high schools, girls rarely see a sundress or plaid skirt, and boys wear blazers. In US public schools, boys most often wear sneakers or sneakers, which is not the case in most private schools. In many schools, boys and girls wear a color-coded T-shirt and jumper with the school's logo.

In secondary schools in Germany, school uniforms have almost never been introduced. In addition, they prefer to call uniforms “school clothes” (Schulkleidung). For example, at schools in Hamburg-Sinstorf and Friesenheim, girls and boys wear stylish blue or red shirts and sweaters. In addition, some German schools produce their own branded clothing, which is both fashionable and honorable to wear.

But the students of Italian schools are still forced to dress in long shirts with white collars - grembiuli, which at the same time resemble a nightgown, tunic and an artist's robe. For graduates of Western high schools, the form remains forever in the memory. Someone dreams of putting on a jumper with a school badge or proudly tying a tie, while many years later, in nightmares, they dream of a terrible, restricting movement, of an eerie color.


Perhaps the most fashionable school wardrobe for Japanese schoolgirls today. Young manga lovers are so delighted with short skirts, white socks, and most importantly - "sailor" (sir fuku) that they are ready to wear them even outside school.

Today, school uniforms are incredibly popular among teenagers. The heroes of the Harry Potter films have made school uniforms a symbol of exclusivity, American comedies have shown rebellious schoolchildren and schoolgirls, and Japanese anime have forced girls around the world to take a special place in the closet for skirts, knee-highs and ties. Wearing comfortable and stylish clothes, the learning process becomes even more enjoyable, which is why many boys and girls gladly put on school uniforms and go to class.

To see with your own eyes how much time the descendants of the conservative English spend on dressing up for physical education and how young goths or emo put up with the dress code in Western schools, you can take a tour of American or English high schools. And even better - to sit at the same desk with those who managed to give up jeans for a while for the sake of a quality education and an interesting pastime.

The school uniform is not only comfortable clothing for schoolchildren, which indicates their belonging to a particular school, but also simultaneously combines certain traditions of the state. And the schoolchild's belonging to a certain state just by school attire is quite possible.

School uniforms in Japan

Schoolchildren of the Land of the Rising Sun can be safely called the most fashionable. The fact is that school uniforms often reflect the traditions not only of Japan itself, but also of the school. Most often, the clothes resemble a sailor suit:

... or clothing from popular anime. And, of course, knee-highs are a must-have for girls.

But for boys, the choice is not so wide. Most often it is a classic dark blue suit or trousers with a jumper, under which a blue shirt is worn.

School uniform in Thailand

Rumor has it that the school uniform in Thailand is the most classic - white top and black bottom, both for boys and girls. Absolutely all children are required to wear it, from elementary school to college.

School uniforms in Turkmenistan

Turkmenistan is a Muslim country, but hijab or veil is not mandatory for girls. Schoolgirls dress in green toe-length dresses, over which a jacket can be worn. Boys wear regular black suits. And, of course, one of the attributes is a skullcap on the head.

School uniforms in Indonesia

For girls, school uniforms in Indonesia include a long skirt, leggings, a white shirt, and a headscarf.

School uniforms in England

School uniforms in England, although mandatory, but each educational institution has the right to set its own standard of clothing for students. Most often it is a jacket or jumper with the emblem of the school, a white shirt, for a girl - a pleated skirt up to the knees, for a boy - trousers.

School uniforms in India

In India, girls usually study in separate classes from boys. The elementary school uniform includes a blue shirt, a lilac skirt or sundress for girls, trousers for boys, and a mandatory striped tie.

School uniforms in Uganda

The outfit of schoolchildren in Uganda is also dictated by each school separately. An important rule- clothes should be made of natural lightweight fabrics, more often chintz. For girls, these are plain dresses with a white collar, and for boys, shirts of the same color. Also, little men wear shorts.

School uniforms in Cameroon

In this African republic, girls are dressed in long blue dresses with a white collar, and boys can go to school in whatever they wish.

2. Introduction.

The topic "School uniforms in different countries of the world" is very relevant in our time, because almost all schools in the world have introduced a school uniform, and it is the form that remains a controversial issue. The school uniform is the everyday attire for students while in school and at formal school events outside of school.

There are different points of view on whether schoolchildren need a standard uniform at all. The main opinions and the arguments supporting them are as follows.

Arguments for:

    The school uniform, like any form, disciplines, leads to cohesion, contributes to the development in students of a sense of community, collectivism, common cause and the presence of common goals.

    The uniform excludes (at least limits) the possibility of competition between pupils (and their parents) in clothes, significantly reduces the visual difference between pupils from families of different material wealth, preventing stratification according to the principle of "rich / poor".

    A uniform standard for uniforms, if adopted at the state level, ensures that schoolchildren's clothing will meet sanitary and hygienic requirements and will not adversely affect their health.

    If a single form exists, its production can be subsidized in a targeted manner, maintaining low prices and removing part of the burden of spending on educating children from poor families.

Arguments against:

    Form is an element of egalitarian education and training.

    The Convention on the Rights of the Child says that every child has the right to express his or her personality as he pleases.

    The school uniform restricts freedom of self-expression, is a means of de-individualization of school students.

    The requirement to wear a uniform is in itself a form of violence against a person; the requirement of strict adherence to the uniform can, if desired, be arbitrarily interpreted by school workers and used to unreasonably persecute unwanted students.

    The uniform can be too expensive for poor families.

The above arguments are a kind of sociological survey conducted among residents of different countries of the world. We see that there are the same number of arguments for and against. Based on this, we see what problems may arise with the acquisition of a school uniform, with its use.

Each school still decides on the introduction of the form independently, and the decision is made at the school council, which should include teachers, parents, and students themselves, necessarily in equal proportions.

I would like to reflect my opinion. I am not in favor of the introduction of a school uniform, but I am not against it either. I don't think the uniform is disciplined.

To become more disciplined, that is, to change due to the fact that you will not wear something, in my opinion, is not realistic. I agree that the lack of a uniform school uniform increases social inequality, but I sincerely do not understand why denim clothes cannot become a school uniform? In my opinion, students will agree to a school uniform only if they are still given the right to choose: style, color, length of skirts - no matter what, the main thing is that they have the right to choose, the right to their individuality.

3. Chapter 1. The history of the appearance of the school uniform.

Now, as before, there are many pros and cons of wearing a school uniform. Let's take a look at how the school uniform developed in Russia and in other states.

In Russia in the X-XIII centuries there is no question of any school form, tk. education in Russia was at that time at a low level. It is with the era of Peter 1 that historians associate radical transformations in the educational sphere. At this time, not only school institutions were opened, which were an order of magnitude higher than the very first schools, but also new schools and lyceums. However, the school uniform was never introduced into this reform.

It happened later - in 1834. It was in this year that a law was passed that approved separate species civilian uniforms. These included gymnasium and student uniforms.

Caps were usually light blue and with a black visor, and a crumpled cap with a broken visor was considered special chic among boys ... There was also a weekend or holiday uniform: a dark blue or dark gray uniform with a trimmed silver collar. The knapsack was an invariable attribute of the gymnasium students. The style of the form changed several times, like the fashion of that time.

At the same time, women's education began to develop. Therefore, a student uniform was required for girls. The girl's uniform was approved as much as 60 years later than the boy's - in 1896, and ... as a result, the first outfit for female students appeared. It was a very strict and modest outfit. But the uniform for girls will delight us with the familiar brown dresses and aprons - these very suits were the basis for the uniforms of Soviet schools. And the same white collars, the same modesty style 1.

School tradition of ancient Egypt much deeper and richer than any school tradition, since it was formed and developed over several thousand years. Only noble Egyptian youths could study: children of the pharaoh and his families, children of priests and high-ranking officials, or only occasionally those who really wanted to learn. There was no school uniform as such.

But later in school the uniform was a short tunic and light armor with artistic trimmings and chlamydas is a piece thick fabric thrown over the shoulders and fastened on the shoulder, chest. Throughout the centuries, this form has remained the unchanged model for studying boys.

In India, all students had to come to classes in certain clothes -“Kurta” and “pajama” - a long shirt and wide trousers.

Since the beginning of our era in Japan a special tradition has developed to this day. Almost every school has its own shape... Almost always now

girls. She has already become a kind of symbol. For modern Japanese

girls are more than just a school uniform, they are a full-fledged

style of clothes. "Gakuran" is worn in Japan by boys - it is a dark-colored trousers and jacket with a stand-up collar. In different schools in Japan, the colors of the uniforms differ and make students stand out.

As for Europe, pagan, ancient and Christian traditions intertwined in education and training in the Middle Ages. Church schools occupied a special place in the education system. The school uniform was naturally ordinary monastic clothing., however, there is no information about its obligation 2.

For the first time since ancient times, uniform clothing for schoolchildren in Europe appeared in England: in 1552, the Christ’s Hospital school was founded for orphans and children from poor families. For the students, a suit was introduced from a dark blue jacket with ankle-length folds, a vest, a leather belt and trousers just below the knees. Approximately in this form, the form has been preserved to this day, the only difference is that today the students of Christ'sHospital are no longer orphans, but the future economic and cultural elite of Great Britain.

V early XIX For centuries, many English schools have introduced not only school uniforms, but also codes of conduct, the violation of which can lead to the expulsion of the student. At the same time, students from various private schools came up with a complex system of rules for "internal prestige": how many buttons are fastened on a uniform blazer; at what angle the hat is worn; how the laces are tied on the shoes; whether a student carries a school bag, taking it by one handle or by both ... These symbols were invisible to outsiders, but the students understood each other's place in the school hierarchy.

The school uniform was introduced in all colonies of the British Empire: in India and Australia, in New Zealand and South Africa, in the Caribbean. For all colonies, the form was the same, but, suitable for the English climate, it caused inconvenience in hot countries.

But in Germany, there has never been a school uniform. Even during the reign of the Third Reich. Only members of the Hitler Youth wore special uniforms. In some German schools, elements of the school uniform have been introduced, but the children themselves choose what uniform to wear.

No consensus about the benefits or harms of compulsory uniform school clothing. The history of the creation of a school uniform and its development is controversial, and does not answer the question: is it necessary. But one thing is for sure school clothes should remain only school clothes.

4. Chapter 2. School uniforms in European countries.

Both parents and children would like to emphasize the child's belonging to the higher status of a schoolchild. Agree that this cannot be achieved by simply buying the child a briefcase or making a new haircut. A radical change is needed, such that the first glance at the child makes it clear who is in front of you 3.

Consider a school uniform in Germany. In Germany there has never been a uniform school uniform. Some schools have introduced uniform school clothing, which is not a uniform, as students can participate in its design.

In France, the situation is similar to that in Germany. Compulsory school uniforms existed in France from 1927 to 1968. But now politicians are again discussing the introduction of compulsory school uniforms. They are perplexed by the desire of children to out-perform each other with high cost of clothes and provocative clothes, especially among girls. In the meantime, during classes, schoolchildren can use special school gowns that remind us of laboratory ones. Each class can be different in its color.

Form in the UK is part of the history of the institution. Each school has its own uniform, which is accompanied by a hat, tie, outerwear and even socks. Each prestigious school has its own logo. The introduction of the school uniform in modern Britain is justified by the fact that representatives of the Ministry of Education believe that a uniform 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.
Since England is a country that adheres to many centuries-old traditions, the design of the form of many prestigious educational institutions has not changed for several tens (or even hundreds) of years.

School uniforms from Italy - seasoned classics and modern sophistication. Today, almost every educational institution has its own requirements for school uniforms. It does not have to be defiant and very bright. Colors of restrained shades are welcome. Italian school clothes are particularly durable, as they are designed to be worn on a daily basis.

Turkey is a compulsory school uniform, each school has its own color, but the same style: for boys - a suit, for girls - a blouse, jumper and skirt, for all - a tie in the colors of the school. This emphasizes that everyone is equal, regardless of the social and material status of the parents.

In Belgium, uniforms are only available in some Catholic schools, as well as in private schools founded by the British. Typical clothing is navy blue trousers and skirts, white or light blue shirt and tie.

3 Pedagogical book - School uniforms today

In Cuba, the uniform is compulsory for all students in schools and higher education institutions.

In Poland, the form has been completely abolished and its private introduction by individual schools is prohibited.

The Ministry of Education in Luxembourg has advocated that the decision on school uniforms should be taken by each school separately. However, this proposal was not approved by the House of Representatives. The dialogue between parents, teachers and students did not lead to optimal solution that would satisfy all parties. Therefore, in the coming school year, the school uniform will remain the same. And in the 2015-2016 school year, students will be able to wear dark blue jeans if they wish.

5. Chapter 3. School uniforms in Asian countries.

In Japan, school uniforms appeared at the end of the 19th century. At the present time, the school uniform is in most private and public schools.

The Japanese word for uniform is seifuku (制服?).

Gakuran (学 ら ん?) Or tsume-eri (詰 め 襟?) Are male uniforms in many middle and high schools in Japan. Gakuran is usually black in color, but in some schools it may be dark blue or brown.

Gakuran comes from a kind of Prussian military uniform. The word is a combination of the hieroglyphs gaku (学), meaning "to learn" or "student," and ran (ら ん or 蘭), meaning Holland or, historically in Japan, the entire West; thus, gakuran translates as "Western disciple."

Sailor suit ( NS. セーラー服 se: ra: -fuku?) a common form worn by girls in high school and sometimes in elementary. It was first introduced as a school uniform by the rector of Fukuoka University Jo Gakuin ( NS.福岡 女 学院?) By Elizabeth Lee. It was created on the basis of the British Royal Navy from the time when Lee studied exchange in Great Britain.

Unlike the gakuran, the sailor has many different variations appearance... Usually the uniform consists of a blouse with a sailor collar and a pleated skirt. Depending on the season, the details of the suit may vary: different sleeve length and material. A ribbon is sometimes tied at the front and pulled through a loop on the blouse. Instead of tape can be used tie, bow or neckerchief. The most common colors for the shape are: dark blue, white, gray, light green and black.

Shoes, socks and other accessories are sometimes part of the uniform. Socks are usually dark blue, white, or black. Brown or black shoes 4.

Consider a school uniform in South Korea. Nearly all South Korean secondary students wear a uniform called Gyobok. Most elementary schools, apart from some private elementary schools, do not have a uniform; however, the uniform has been rigorously tested since the beginning of high school. Typical South Korean uniforms usually consist of a shirt, blazer and tie, with skirts for girls and gray pants for boys.

A typical Korean school uniform for a boy usually includes a jacket, white collared shirt, long sleeves, tie, trousers, and outerwear for the Winter season. A girl's Korean school uniform usually consists of a bow, a white collared shirt with sleeves, a vest, a pleated skirt and outerwear for winter, and white socks. Nail polish and cosmetics were generally not allowed until

many municipal education departments have not enacted Student Rights Actions, which include freedom of uniform and freedom of hairstyle 5.

Not all public schools have introduced school uniforms in China. However, most students are required to wear uniforms through to high school. The Chinese school uniform is often like a tracksuit. The uniform in mainland China usually has two sets: summer and winter. Winter set for boys includes a sweater (or windbreaker with a zipper) and trousers. A summer kit usually consists of a white shirt with a collar and shorts or trousers. The girls 'winter uniform is identical to the boys' uniform. But the summer options allow you to wear not only trousers, but also skirts. Most Chinese schools are required to wear red ties or badges 6.

School uniform in an Uzbek school
In this country, young people under 25 years old make up about 60 percent of the population, so school uniforms can be seen here quite often. It is a simple and comfortable shape, made in blue and white colors.

School uniform at school in Bhutan
Simple, beautiful and traditional. These epithets best describe this school uniform, which can be assumed to be part of the cultural heritage.

Mandatory dress code has been introduced throughout the Kingdom of Thailand. For example, in kindergarten it is envisaged to wear a red skirt and a white blouse for girls, and boys have red cropped trousers with a white shirt. In Thai schools, the use of various accessories, hair dyeing and tattooing are prohibited. A school uniform is required. From 6 to 14 years old, boys wear a white short-sleeved shirt with an open collar, knee-length shorts (khaki, black or navy blue), knee-highs and sneakers (black or brown). Girls wear navy blue or black knee-length skirts and white blouses with a tie. On his feet - white knee-highs and dark shoes. On Thursdays, Thai schools host a "scout day," where boys wear beige uniforms and their supervisors wear dark green uniforms with yellow neckerchiefs. The color of the scout uniform may vary from school to school. Also common is the blue uniform for girls. The name and number of the school, the name of the student is embroidered on the shirts or blouses of all Thai students. This system is similar to the English one. High school boys are allowed to wear long trousers. In higher education, uniforms are a white long-sleeved shirt, a black or navy blue tie, and black trousers for boys. For girls - a white blouse combined with a plain or pleated skirt 7.

6. Chapter 4. School uniforms in African countries.

African continent - so distant and so mysterious. What kind of clothes do disciples wear on this side of the world? School uniforms in Africa are amazing and multifaceted.

She boggles the imagination with her bright colors, which are not at all associated with school clothes. There are two main reasons for this:

    Landscapes in African countries do not always delight with variety. Of course, there are places of amazing beauty on the continent. But most often you can see endless plains and deserts around. Therefore, residents in these countries strive to diversify their lives, wear bright outfits that delight the eye and cause joy in the soul.

    The fervent disposition of Africans is known to all. And where there is hot blood, there are multicolored clothes that emphasize the fiery character.

The states where Islam is the main religion stand apart among the African countries. These include Sudan, Tunisia, Mali, Somalia, Gambia, Libya, etc. School uniforms in Muslim countries often involve wearing special clothes for girls. They wear hijabs, long dresses and wide trousers. Bright colors are rare here, since in Islam it is forbidden to wear flashy clothes, modesty is encouraged.

In fairness, it should be noted that even in countries with a predominance of Islam, you can often find schools where female students wear regular school uniforms.

In non-Muslim countries in Africa, bright colors are in vogue, unusual combinations... You may find students dressed in pink, purple, bright green, yellow, and even orange flowers.

International charitable organizations operate in the poorer regions of the continent. They participate in the founding of schools for the poor, provide school uniforms, computers, textbooks and notebooks.

In such schools, clothing for students is often made in a modern African style, sewn from bright fabrics. Shirts or dresses often have a charity logo or seal on them.

Also surprising is the school uniform in private schools. Wealthy Africans send their children to get a good education and a trip to better life 8 .

7. Conclusion

The goal and tasks set in the work have been completed. In particular, the task is to learn more about the school uniform in different countries of the world, to learn about its appearance, about the colors, to find out why this particular clothing was chosen as the school uniform of a particular country or school.

So, we can conclude that the school uniform in different countries is not the same. Her choice depends on the climatic conditions of the country, the level of her education, the time of the appearance of the school uniform and the reasons for which she appeared.
Another thing about the form can be said that it depends on the financial situation of the country, religious beliefs. In different countries, uniforms are treated differently. In some countries, the uniform is a mandatory attribute of every student, in others it is optional. It is important to note that in some countries students design their own uniforms.

I believe that it is very important to walk in whatever is comfortable for you, and I support the point of view of those countries that give students the opportunity to "make" their own form. But I don’t support those who cancel it altogether. I think that the form disciplines and makes everyone who is somehow different in social status equal.
