Few people know, but the first copies of the school uniform appeared in the 15th century, since then it has solemnly marched around the world. Uniforms have been introduced in most schools in developed countries, what explains its popularity?

• In form, it is impossible to understand the wealth of the family, gender or ethnic differences;
• From childhood, students are instilled with an official style of dress;
• A sense of team and collectivism develops;
• School uniforms do not allow subcultures to develop and actively demonstrate their views.

Each country has its own concepts of what the form of students should be. The most conservative traditions have been preserved in the UK, where almost every school or college has its own insignia.

In the countries of the East, the form only emphasizes national traditions and is strikingly different from European counterparts. A vivid example of this is Malaysia, Oman. It is also interesting that schoolchildren in Bhutan do not carry briefcases or bags at all. They carry writing materials and textbooks in special pockets of their school uniforms.

The form of schoolchildren in Australia and New Zealand is as simple and convenient as possible. Skirt, shorts, jumper or shirt: no strict ironed arrows, jackets or stand-up collars: comfort comes first.

Japanese schoolchildren dress simply and comfortably: pleated skirts or trousers, shirts, ties.

But the form of Brazilian children is more like a suit for playing football. But it's convenient.

The form in Russia has also undergone significant changes: in the lower grades, you can increasingly meet children dressed in plain or checkered suits, but high school students do not deny themselves the pleasure of flaunting clothes “a la USSR”.

Nigeria, Congo, Kenya - the local uniform is distinguished by the most free cut (still, Africa has a completely different climate), but not all educational institutions supported the introduction of universal clothing.

Schoolchildren in Vietnam resemble vacationers from Artek (a turquoise bottom in combination with a light shirt and a contrasting tie looks very colorful). In Cuba, in uniform, you can guess the common features with clothes from the communist past. Who cares, but the author of the schoolchildren are very reminiscent of the pioneers.

In Colombia, Singapore and a number of other countries, the clothes of schoolchildren are discreet and even boring.

In Uzbekistan, they decided not to adhere to the national color, so the uniform in schools has a simple and recognizable cut.

In India, some schools still have not abolished the sari, which replaces the uniform, but more comfortable clothes have been introduced in most schools. In Turkmenistan, you can see national patterns and ornaments on clothes, but the cut is quite typical.

It is difficult to judge schools and people in general by the form, because very rare countries have not lost their individuality, and even their school clothes are traditional and unusual. What shape would you like the most?

Japanese school uniform In Japan, an individual form is developed for each educational institution, although all must comply with generally accepted requirements. If there is a variant of school classics in the country? Yes. This is a "sailor's fuku" for girls, which is familiar to Russian schoolchildren from multiple animated works. Not many people know that school uniforms in different countries, in particular in Japan, include socks, a scarf and even underwear. Despite the democratic approach to the clothes of schoolchildren, there are certain rules for wearing them in the country: Boys up to the 7th grade must attend school in shorts, only by the 8th grade they are allowed to switch to trousers.
Girls during the entire school year do not wear tights on their legs, only knee-highs or high socks. Even in extreme heat, girls are required to come to the general school line, which is held under the supervision of the director three times a week, in sweaters. A mandatory accessory attached to the form is a large briefcase or bag, as shown in the photo. Shoes are allowed only with low heels. An interesting fact known to few: girls, in order to give their long socks a lowered look, form an accordion-shaped shaft and glue them directly to their feet with special glue.

English school uniform The school uniform in different countries differs, first of all, in that in some states it is the same for the population of all regions and institutions, in others it is an attribute of only one educational center. The modern look of the uniform for boys and girls has common standards for all regions, but it is sewn individually for each institution. In some cases, the differences are of an age-related nature, for example, one of the elements of the uniform for boys under 14 years old is shorts, the older ones are already switching to trousers. There are also differences of a seasonal nature, for example, summer light dresses for girls in the summer are replaced by warm sundresses in winter.
The British, known throughout the world for their conservatism, it turns out, are very fond of improvising. For example, not a single set of school uniforms in different countries contains straw hats, except at Harrow School in London. School uniforms in other countries School uniforms in different countries are tied to the climatic conditions of the state and differ in some national color: Australia and Oceania: the uniform resembles British school clothes, only in a lightweight version (hot climate); African countries: the form is distinguished by the presence of bright colors: from blue to yellow, pink, purple;

School uniforms in Australia and Oceania

The school uniform in Australia and Oceania resembles the traditional British one, but is more open and light. In Australia and New Zealand, due to the hot climate and unhealthy scorching sun, students wear hats as part of their school uniform.

The school uniform in Thailand is the sexiest.

Students in Thailand are required to wear a school uniform from elementary school to college. The new style of uniform for female students looks very sexy. A white blouse that fits snugly on the upper body, and a black mini skirt with a slit that fits snugly around the hips. Of course, not in all educational institutions, Thai students can see the advantages and disadvantages of the figures of female students. Girls used to wear skirts below the knee, so the older generation of Thais believe that such a school uniform is detrimental to morality. In addition, in such clothes, schoolgirls with flaws in the figure and overweight probably do not feel very comfortable.

The school uniform in Malaysia is the most conservative.

Students in Malaysia are subject to fairly strict rules. Dresses for girls should be long enough to cover the knees. Shirts should cover the elbow. The complete opposite of Thai schoolgirls. This is understandable - an Islamic country.

The school uniform in Oman is the most ethnic.

School uniforms in Oman are believed to showcase the ethnic characteristics of the nation most clearly. Guys are required to wear to school wearing traditional, white Islamic-style robes. Girls should cover their faces, and even better, stay at home.

School uniforms in Bhutan are the most practical.

It is said that students in Bhutan do not carry schoolbags. All textbooks and a pencil case are placed under their clothes, because the school uniform always bulges in different parts of the body.

School uniforms in the United States are the most obtrusive.

Students can decide for themselves whether they will buy and wear a school uniform or not. By the way, and how they will wear it, they also decide for themselves.

The school uniform in China is the most athletic.

School uniforms in most schools in China differ only in size. You won't see much difference between girls' and boys' clothes, because, as a rule, schoolchildren wear tracksuits - cheap and practical!

The school uniform in Cuba is the most ideologically correct.

The most important detail of a school uniform in Cuba is a pioneer tie. Hello from the USSR!

School uniform in Japan

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

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

School uniform in Turkmenistan

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

The school uniform began its history in the UK. Here, each school has its own uniform, which must be accompanied by a cap or hat with the logo of the school, as well as a tie, outerwear and even socks.

The school uniform of England is respected not only by English schoolchildren, but also by the whole world. Students in English educational institutions have been proud of their uniforms for centuries. British clothes for schoolchildren include not just a business style suit designed for school, but a complete set of clothes, which includes shoes, outerwear, socks and golfs for girls.

The form always has an image of the logo of the educational institution, which is most often found on a tie. Young Britons wear shirts, ties, hats, blazers and other school wardrobe items with great pleasure.

As for the United States of America, the introduction of uniforms for school students is a necessity. Since with the help of the same clothes, all conflicts over expensive sneakers and fashionable clothes between students can be minimized. Such changes were introduced with a certain frequency, in the form of an experiment in different educational institutions. And only in 1996, the school uniform in America became the official dress for all students in the country. The modern American school uniform serves more to distinguish the students of one educational institution from the students of another.

In Germany, the school uniform is not welcome: it is associated with the uniform of the Hitler Youth. Some schools have introduced uniform school clothes, in the development of which the students themselves can take part, but it is difficult to call this a uniform.

In France, each school has its own uniform, but a single school uniform existed only in 1927-1968.

The school uniform in Japan is known all over the world.

"Sailor Fuku" is the name of the Japanese school uniform for girls, in Russian it's just sailors. But when leaving the gates of their native school, schoolgirls are in no hurry to take off their school attire, they are proud to be members of learning communities. Being a student of an educational institution in Japan is very prestigious, so students are proud of their status, which emphasizes the school uniform.

A bag or briefcase is also attached to the form. An interesting detail of the form is socks, neatly stretched and glued with special glue.

Boys in Japan wear "gakuran", which is a dark jacket with a row of buttons and a stand-up collar, as well as trousers. The choice of this style is not accidental. It has Prussian roots, as soldiers of the Prussian army of the 19th century wore similar clothes. At the time when the Japanese school uniform was being developed, the country did not hesitate to actively borrow ideas from enlightened Europe, which was more developed at that time.

The uniform for boys consists of a white short-sleeved shirt and blue shorts (up to grade 10, about 15 years old). The uniform for girls differs from school to school, however, as a rule, it consists entirely of white matter.

Despite the ambiguity of approaches in different countries, the problem of school uniforms is one of the most discussed in society. In most countries, the school uniform is the main element of students' clothing, because. carries a number of positive meanings, such as: social, disciplining, aesthetic and image.

The social significance of the school uniform. The uniform, in this case, eliminates the difference in the financial situation of the families of students, thus blurring the line between the layers of society and, as a result, helps in the assimilation of educational material, since students do not have the desire and ability to cause a feeling of inferiority and a complex in their colleagues for study by defiling newfangled things and jewelry.

2. The disciplining value of the school uniform. School uniform complements intellectual and physical education with disciplinary provisions such as leadership, status and certain bonds, promotes the development of respect for clothing, and is also an important tool for the social identification of students, it not only distinguishes a student from a non-student, but also creates the necessary distance between students and teachers.

3. Aesthetic value of the school uniform. The aesthetic value of the school uniform is the appearance of the student, which is positively perceived by the student himself and the people around him. A strict suit on a student not only encourages him to comply with aesthetic norms and rules, but also, as a result, develops in him a sense of proportion and instills taste. A teenager in a school uniform will often always look nice and neat.

4. The image value of the school uniform. The school uniform in this case acts not only as a reflection of the reality of a person, but also as a general characteristic and emblem of an educational institution, which has its own respectful attitude, high level education, traditions and status. A student in uniform not only emphasizes the individuality of the school (its merits and strengths), which will certainly contribute to its prosperity and development, but also indicates his belonging to it, thereby having a positive emotional impact on the people around him. The presence of a uniform at the present time is an indicator of a high corporate culture.

One in four English students may not worry about what to wear to class. The solution to this problem has long been a school uniform - an approved set of clothes for boys and girls in Western secondary schools.

At different times, school uniforms in different countries looked different. Until recently, pressed jackets and shirts with starched collars, fancy stockings and tailored skirts were associated with elite educational institutions for the children of wealthy parents. And it's hard to imagine that the original school uniform was intended for poor children who had nothing to go to school at Christ's Shelter. Their coats were blue, as blue dye was the cheapest in the 16th century. Since then, schools in which students wear blue coats have been called Bluecoat schools - “blue coat 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 (Eton School), where only boys from the richest families or heirs of the royal court can study, abandoned the school uniform in the late 60s. The Eton student's costume looked like this: a wide white starched collar, a waistcoat and a short black jacket. Today, this school uniform is worn in specialized boys' choir schools.

In 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 wear blazers and kilts. Going to the sixth grade, the guys put on special costumes. The form is also provided for gaming activities. A set of clothes can be bought in a special store of the school or on its website.

The American version of the school uniform is different for private and public schools. In regular high schools, girls rarely wear sundresses or plaid skirts, and boys don't wear blazers. In public schools in the United States, boys most often wear sneakers or sneakers, which is not accepted in most private schools. In many schools, boys and girls wear a t-shirt and jumper in a certain color with the school logo.

In secondary schools in Germany, school uniforms were almost never introduced. In addition, the uniform here is preferred to be called "clothes for school" (Schulkleidung). For example, at Hamburg-Sinstorf and Friesenheim schools, girls and boys wear stylish shirts and sweaters in blue or red. In addition, some German schools produce their own branded clothes, which are 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 simultaneously resemble a nightgown, tunic and artist's robe. For western high school graduates, the uniform remains forever in the memory. Someone dreams of putting on a jumper with a school badge again or proudly tying a tie, and someone, many years later, has nightmares about a terrible, restricting movement, eerie color uniform.

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

Today, school uniforms are incredibly popular among teenagers. The heroes of the Harry Potter films have made school uniforms a symbol of selectivity, American comedies have shown rebellious schoolchildren and schoolgirls, and Japanese anime have made girls all over the world set aside a special place in the closet for skirts, golfs and ties. In comfortable and stylish clothes, the learning process becomes even more enjoyable, which is why many boys and girls are happy to put on a school uniform and go to class.

To see with your own eyes how much time the descendants of conservative British people spend on dressing for physical education and how young goths or emos 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 quality education and interesting pastime.
