SCHOOL UNIFORM

SCHOOL UNIFORM

In some countries, e.g. Britain and many Caribbean states, it is common for school pupils to have to wear distinctive uniforms identifying them with a particular institution, especially to the end of compulsory education at 16. In other, e.g. France, the USA, it is rare for uniforms to be worn, although some private schools may retain them. In both situations the desirability of school uniforms remains controversial among students, parents and educationalists. As a result of this some school have abandoned uniform at the same time as others have adopted it.

Question:

Should schools require their students to wear a school uniform?
