Should Uniforms Be Compulsory In Schools?

Schools defend compulsory uniforms on the grounds that they improve behaviour, build spirit, develop a student’s sense of belonging and define the school’s identity.  But there are some who have contradictory views. To come up with a good insight on this subject, let’s discuss the issue in detail…
 
The Pros 
The most commonly cited advantages of uniforms are that they create a sense of uniformity and equality. The proponents of uniform dress code like the idea that “uniforms put the focus on the larger group and on community identity.” Uniforms also level the playing field because there is no distinction to suggest that some students are more stylish than others or can afford expensive clothes. A teacher pointed out that “Clothing and fashion could become a root cause for social conflict. A non-uniform dress code can create tension between those who are well-off and others who are not. It might also encourage bullies. School uniforms make the environment more conducive to learning, thus relieving students from the pressure to fit in. This improves behavioural and academic outcomes.”
 
Many students believe that uniforms also help in creating a distraction- free atmosphere. Imagine trying to concentrate on a mathematical equation while secretly admiring the new dress of your classmate. There are others who gave a thumbs up to the convenience offered by the uniforms. “I don’t have to shuffle through the wardrobe to zero in on my best pick every morning. It saves students like me from early morning fashion fracas,” opined Bhavya S, class IX, NES International School, Mumbai. Cost-saving is also a key consideration, as parents don’t have to buy trendy and high-quality outfits for their children to wear at school.
 
Several principals also mentioned how uniforms are vital for a student’s safety. “With one glance, you can quickly identify the odd one among the crowd,” said a principal. A teacher opined that “A lot of jobs require wearing uniforms. So, if any student is planning to become a lawyer or a doctor, then he/she should get used to putting on the same uniform day in and out."
 
And the Cons 
Some sociology experts and educators argue that school uniforms hinder self-expression in students, which is vital for their holistic development. This often results in students resorting to other less appropriate ways to express themselves, such as inappropriate use of jewellery and make-up. Their argument is that teenage years are all about knowing and expressing your individuality; a non-uniform dress code policy creates an environment where they’re comfortable in their own skin.
 
A student argued that “while education is important, students should also feel comfortable in absorbing what is being taught. And sometimes the school dress is so dull and unappealing that it can make students unfocused. Besides, school shouldn't be a dull place—it should promote independence and creativity. And one way to do this is through fashion.”
 
Another student pointed out that the concern about taking too much time in getting ready for school is not based on reason. He said that “Clothes like sweatshirts, t-shirts and jeans are simple to put together as a uniform. Moreover, uniform dress code policy increases the financial burden on parents because they still have to buy wardrobe for the hours their wards are not in school.”
 
Conclusion
But a majority of the students and teachers we talked to believe that uniforms improve academic, behavioural and social outcomes. They say change is good only if it is for a purpose!  What do you think? 
 

Should school uniforms be mandatory? Let’s know your views in the comments below.

Kashish Verma Bharti Public School Swasthya Vihar

In my opinion, uniform should be made mandatory because it represents a student''s identity and the uniform carroes the school''s logo which shows and represents a school. It is also important because after wearing it, no difference can be made out between any student, whatever caste he may belong, he may be a topper or not, he may be rich or not it brings out symmetry amd gives a feeling of "We are one".

Sharmeen Khan PADUA HIGH SCHOOL-MANKHURD

Yes. School uniforms should be mandatory for they inculcate the sense of formality and equality in a student''s life. Banning uniforms will give rise to bullying as the children will be judged on what they wear instead of who they are. Uniforms do not kill ones identity. You can be yourself in whatever you wear. Waking up in the morning and freaking about what to wear will be a lot more of stress on the children apart from the academics.

There will be no high class nor low class. No student who are poor will be ashamed of coming to school according to their parents capacity

Ritvik Baweja Bal Bharati Public School

Definitely uniforms should be compulsory to wear in the school. Despite being uncomfortable and unattractive, they provide with a sensation of discipline and remember us that we are inside a school. Also they make each and everyy children look equal and from a school not in a party.

JIYA TOMAR B G S NATIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOL

Candidly, I do intensely feel that uniforms play a pivotal role in sketching a student''s identity. The main high of uniforms are the discipline, drill and spirit that they create in students. However, in the present scenario the thing is that we the students consider ourselves to be the most modern people around and tend to take everything for granted and thus often fail to give importance to a uniform educational system and taking India, we focus on uniforms in all educational institutions.

Harini MS NAGARJUNA VIDYANIKETAN

School uniforms must be mandatory by comfortable. A common color and style can be set, and the students must be given the liberty to personalize their uniforms. Thus a uniformity can be maintained along with a sense of acceptance.

Uniforms are a symbol of unity.They are compulsory because they plant the seeds of equality in the minds of students.

Himanshi Dhawan Saffron Public School

As the name suggests, it brings out uniformity among pupil studying in an institution. This uniformity leaves us with the least number of chances to discriminate between students of different castes, creed, race, language etc.Thus, it is also a sign of a secular India where people of different castes, creed, race, language etc live together. So, in my opinion uniform should be compulsory in schools.

According to me school uniform must and should be made compulsory. This is because students are able to present themselves on the basis of talent rather than the social status they belong to.it creates equality and so none considers himself low or inferior.

Hiya Kilam global indian internatonal school

When a student goes out on a field trip with the school, uniform becomes very important as the student can easily find his or her schoolmates when lost. When a student and his or her schoolmates wear their uniform, they cannot discriminate against anyone on the basis of caste or the state they belong to since they all wear the same dress. Equality is becoming rare in today''s world of competition. School uniforms encourage equality among students and make them feel safe and secure.

Rohit Raju Naresh Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Taylors Road

In my opinion uniforms must not be mandatory as students might find the uniform dull and unappealing one way to tackle this is to make parts of the school uniform mandatory such as shoes, socks and ID cards the wardrobe is left upto the student. This will make students come to school more often too, as they would like to show off new additions to their wardrobe such as a new tee or a pant

Vandana Subash City International School Wanowrie

School uniforms are a very important thing in a student''s life as it maintains equality between children of different social groups.But even the school authorities should pay heed to the children''s thoughts.They should set some decent dress like an Indian wear as uniform as this will also bring out our patriotism.

Anuj Anil Kapse Montfort school

I think that uniforms must be compulsory in schools because, apart from giving us the knowledge that we need to survive in this competitive world, schools also teach us how to be a respected citizen in the society, and in that case uniforms are important because they not only teach us to treat every one with equality but also gives us the habit or sense of being well dressed as someones respect in society is highly depended on his clothes.

In my opinion, it is important that students wear a school uniform in order to maintain balance and order among the students.

Uniforms also give a sense of discipline and purpose.

No one can deny the important of wearing school uniform because each school has its own uniform that represents for the school’s image and prestige. However, the issue that students have to wear their uniforms when going to schools is still controversial.

Tanya Singh BHAWAN VIDYALAYA CHD-SEC-27

Uniforms as they name suggests, helps maintain uniformity. Uniformity allows for the existence of discipline and rules at the same level for every one. Equal representation for individuals is established. It provides for the presence of the notion of equality in spite of existing disparities. Schools have always been a nectar of knowledge. Uniforms put everyone equally and before the school while simultaneously promoting a feeling of fraternity and solidarity.

KAVIN JINDAL ST. KABIR DRI. OLD

My opinion is that school uniform''s should be mandatory because it shows that from which school he/she belongs to and it also represents a student''s identity. It is because the children will start demanding for highly trendy clothes which are too costly. And no one will be able to distinguish between the rich and the poor. No one will bully anyone on their attire.

Nishi Upadhyay BHARTI PUBLIC SCHOOL (SWASTHYA VHR)

I think school dress is important for students as it creates equality and gives them a feeling that they are no different but a part of a big family called school.

Shayon Upadhaya HANSRAJ MORARJI PUBLIC-ANDHERI-W

It''s important to wear school uniform because we are here in school to be educated and not to show off our things to others.Children during this age are easily lured by the different extraordinary and as well as expensive items and it''s the responsibility of the elders to make these children understand to live in order.When we wear our school uniform, it feels like we are going to do something very special.

Nitish Shukla SHRI RAM SHIKSHA MANDIR

Yes,as per the majority uniform should be made compulsory because it brings unity among studentsand also no difference can be made between students through caste,religion,etc.but as per my opinion the school should take care of their uniform so that this question should not arise among their students.I think that the uniform of students should be with the modern generation,as their students are on of this generation.

Aditi Sahi D C MODEL SCH PKL-SEC-7

School uniforms should be mandatory because in a way it creates equality and saves our time otherwise everyday we would have to search from a pile of clothes what to wear and to not.But it should be customized and I truly aggree with the point that your personality not your clothes speak about you.

Harshi Goel S.S.K.KHALSA GIRLS SR.SEC.SCH.(DARY

I think uniforms shouldn''t be mandatory.This uniform policy only increases the extra financial burden on many households,which then decides not to send their ward to schools.Moreover, it is said that ''uniforms'' bring ''uniformity'' and brings togetherness.But why then those uniforms are compulsory in only schools ? Don''t we need to feel that uniformity in colleges or further in our lives?So, I think uniforms or not,is just a physical mask.We need to bring uniformity through our minds .

Priyanshi Kar HIRANANDANI FOUNDATION SCHL

Yes. I think it should be made mandatory since if there is no uniform, students will waste their time in choosing their outfits. People will judge others by their ''fashion sense''. However I think students should be allowed to wear whatever they want during special occasions or specific days , as long they maintain the dress code

G. Abishek Bethel Mat Hr Sec School

Uniforms should be a compulsory one because it gives the students a uniqueness in their appearance and gives them a equal look. And this avoids discrimination.

Sanjana Mehta G.D. GOENAKA PASCHIM VIHAR

I don''t feel that uniforms should be mandatory. The school can issue ID cards or any specific part of clothing for identification. A lot of people argue that eliminating school uniform will create social differences, but I feel that it will help in developing our personality and will teach us not to discriminate between people who can and cannot afford good clothes.

maitreyi bhuyan KHAITAN PUBLIC SCHOOL(NOIDA SEC_40)

i feel uniforms should be there as one can know that in which school the child is studing and it also feels comfortable with it. many a times children where nothing except uniform at home also.

Karan Salot Cambridge School, Kandivali (E)

Yes... I truly appreciate the person in whose mind a thought came that we should keep uniform for each and everyone coming in school..because school is a place where we learn values and in school everyone do not come for rich families..so wearing uniform creates a feeling of brotherhood amongst all and as it is wisely said..''United we stand,Divided we fall.!''And when we are in uniform it creates a sense that we all are equal and main thing is a feeling of "TRUE INDIANS!"

A.Shajitha Fathima Bethel Mat Hr Sec School

Now also there is untouchability in our world. When the devil goes out of our mind. Then there''s no importance for the availability of uniforms.

Pragya RUKMINI DEVI PUB. SCHOOL(PITAMPURA)

Uniforms should be mandatory in schools as it teaches the students to be more disciplined and well managed. It allows the children to focus on their studies rather than the latest fashion. A student is showcased by the way he dresses up in his or her uniform.

Ilesh Tripathi HBK - CHHATRAL BRANCH

Yes uniform should be compulsory because it avoids inequality among children and it indicates equality.if there will be no uniforms rich students will wear coastly clothe which will make poor students feel poor

Nanthashree.S PRESIDENCY SCHOOLHMT LAYOUT

Uniforms must be made compulsory at schools as they help inculcate the feeling of oneness and equality among all students. Moreover, when one has to get dressed up(other than in uniform) one tends to spend a lot of time in it which may also act as an unnecessary distraction.

Vihan R. Yalamanchili DDMS P.OBUL REDDY PUBLIC SCHOOL

School uniforms should be made mandatory in all schools and is a must. They ensure a sense of pride of students'' schools and unity in a school. Uniforms also promote equality in a school because both well off children and children of poor backgrounds wear the same dress. Students also, don''t have to decide what to wear from their wardrobe to school when they have a uniform they wear everyday. Uniforms also improve discipline, and one''s attitude.

Ananya NAGARJUNA VIDYANIKETAN

According to me, uniforms should be made mandatory as it represents the school. Otherwise the students will be stressed upon what to wear. Moreover, the students will then be judged upon the dress they are wearing. Uniform brings oneness and equality among students. They stand as a symbol of unity

ROSHAN HASMUKHBHAI PARMAR PRAGATI ENGLISH PRIMARY SCHOOL

The reason why school uniform is compulsory because some students are in upper class, middle class, lower class. However, the rich students would wear expensive clothes to school and distract the others who could not buy the same type of dress. We need to get used to wear uniforms when we can''t what ever we want when we go to job. A school is a place where we come to study, not to show our wealth. When i wear uniform, I felt that all of them are rich.

Dhanvi Shah GOPI BIRLA MEM.SCH.-WALKESHWAR

Yes, School Uniforms should be mandatory. This will make the child more focused on studies. There will be less classism as all the kids whether they are rich or poor will be in the same clothes.

Bhumika singla DELHI INTERNATIONAL SEC-3 ROHINI

School uniform is a standard set of clothes which is worn by a group of people.More and more people say that it may not be must for students to wear school uniform.People have debated this issue many times.Advantages for wearing a uniform is that it creates a sense of uniformity and equality among the children. A non-uniform dress code can create tension between those who are and who are not.Some educators say that school uniforms hinder self expression.

Archit Chaturvedi DPS Greater Noida

From my point of view, uniforms shouldn''t be made compulsory. This question is to all the people out there who think otherwise. How petty do ya think these children are that they''ll start fighting like," eyyyyy tu ne mujhse achi dress kaise pehen li."? How will uniforms promote equality? Most people don''t feel like they''re in their own skin in school uniforms. In today''s generation, sports are very popular. How will children play in school uniforms that get torn pretty quickly?

B. THANISH VARDHAN PON VIDYASHRAM

The school uniform is mandatory because it represents the school and shows the logo

N.Darani Amalorpavam Higher Secondary School

A school uniform can improve learning by reducing distraction, sharpening focus on schoolwork and making the classroom a more serious environment, allowing students to perform better academically.Perhaps most importantly, a uniform means students don''t have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like isn''t so important. There is no competition about being dressed in the latest trend....

Linet Christina Thomas Ryan International School Nallasopara

Yes uniforms help students to treat each other equal. otherwise students may dress up according to their finacial conditions. some from well to do family and some middle class and some lower class family all study togather. So when they uniform students dont need to think about their cloths, its only acadamic and other activities they should concentrate.

parvathy.m.nair kendriya vidyalaya ashok nagar

yes it should be compulsory we go to school to learn discipline,manner,ect."WE GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN WE DESERVE A UNIFORM"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Varun Singh The Millennium School

In my opinion, school uniforms mustn''t be banned in schools, as they create a sense of equality among the students. People from all backgrounds come to schools. An ordinary employee of a multi national company works very hard so that he could manage to send his children to a school, similar to his employer''s children, if not the same. If there weren''t school uniforms, then children would bully each other for not having branded clothes.
