The school uniform is one of the fondest and the brightest memories of school life. No matter you like it or hate it at one point of time, but it certainly becomes an integral part of a student’s life. But is its significance simply limited to creating these memories, or is there something more to it? Let’s find out.
Reasons for having Uniforms:-
Promoting unity & a sense of belonging
The school uniform has a very important role in bringing the students coming from different cultural and social backgrounds to a common platform. When every student wears a similar set of clothes each day to school, they know that they are here with a common goal and for the common cause of education. The uniform also instills a sense of dedication, respect and belonging for the school.
Promoting equality amongst students
Imagine the scenario in schools when there is no uniform or dress code. Everyone comes with clothes of his or her choice. It is a fact that all students in a school don’t come from the same economic strata, and everyone doesn't have equal amount of financial resources. While the rich kids might be coming nicely dressed up in premium branded clothings, others may feel disadvantaged. A common uniform for all students in school discourages such inequalities and insecurities from creeping in the tender minds of students.
Safety & students identification
The school uniform also plays a very important role in ensuring the safety of students while outdoors. A school like The Heritage, which is amongst the top 10 schools in Dehradun, organises a lot of outdoor activity and expeditions, tours and field visits for the students. The uniform helps keep the flock together, and identify the students as belonging to the school. It has a major role to play in the safety of students.
