Should School Make Uniform Compulsory

Hi
Please give your comments on this essay:

Should schools make uniform compulsory?

Schooling is an important phase in an individual’s life. It is at school the child learns good habits and mannerisms. School strives to inculcate in students certain important values which form the basis for character formation. One of the most important ones among these values is obedience. School requires every pupil to attend school in the uniform, which it has prescribed. By making the students attend school in uniform it is ensuring that pupils obey a system which is run for welfare of the individual and the community. In my opinion school should make uniform compulsory because apart from inculcating the value obedience in the pupils, it checks the rich-poor divide. It prevents pupils wearing dresses which are felt offensive to the cultural sentiments of the people. Uniform attaches a sense of respect to schooling. (Thesis Statement)


Firstly, uniform eliminates the rich-poor divide among students. If students are given a free choice with the dress they can wear to school, it is possible that those from affluent homes may wear rich fancy dresses. This way of dressing is not only inappropriate to the occasion and also makes the students from less affluent homes feel depressed and thus be less involved in the school activities.

Secondly, if pupils are permitted to come to school in the dress of their choice, there is a possibility of some, due to overt influence of foreign culture, wearing attires which are offensive to the cultural sentiments of the people of that region. Even when such students do not have any intention to flaunt their dress before their schoolmates, they are likely to be seen as a culturally insensitive lot and their moral uprightness is severely questioned.

Thirdly, school uniform which includes tie, formal shoes among others, embodies a certain sign of formality and reverence which schooling rightly deserves. If students wear casual or semi-causal outfits to school it not only shows the pupil in poor light but also belittles the essential value of schooling.


Some think that as world is becoming more and more considerate to problems of children face at different places, school must be relax their rule on uniform a little so that children can have some freedom in the choice of their dress they can wear to school. There is no doubt that world is becoming increasingly considerate to the concerns of children but at the same time if the school relaxes its policy of compulsory uniform for everyone, just as it has been said earlier many might start wearing dresses which stands in conflict with the moral values of the community. Schooling is the period when a child’s character gets formed and at such a crucial time of her or his life the child must learn that his freedom must not violate the cultural sentiments of the population or community which he or she is a part of.

Thus, for all the reasons mentioned above I strongly believe that school must make uniform compulsory for the students.

Oh, one more thing. "Dresses" means female attire. I think that boys should wear uniforms as well as girls.
