The school uniform began its history in Great Britain. Here, each school has its own uniform, which must be accompanied by a cap or hat with the school's logo, as well as a tie, outerwear and even socks.
School uniforms in England are respected not only by English schoolchildren, but also by the whole world. Students in English schools have prided themselves on their uniforms from time immemorial. British school clothes include not just a business suit designed for school, but a complete set of clothes, which includes shoes, outerwear, socks and knee-highs for girls.
The uniform always has an image of the logo of the educational institution, which is most often found on a tie. Young Britons take great pleasure in wearing shirts, ties, hats, blazers and other school wardrobe items.

As for the United States of America, the introduction of uniforms for schoolchildren is a necessity. Since with the help of the same clothes, you can reduce to a minimum all conflicts over expensive sneakers and fashionable clothes between students. Such changes were introduced at regular intervals, in the form of an experiment in different educational institutions. And only in 1996, the school uniform in America became the official clothing 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. In some schools, uniform school clothes have been introduced, 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.

School uniforms in Japan are known throughout the world.
"Sailor-fuku" is the name of the Japanese school uniform for girls, in Russian it is just sailor suits. But leaving the gates of their home school, schoolgirls are in no hurry to take off their school clothes, they are proud to be members of educational communities. It is very prestigious to be a student of an educational institution in Japan, therefore pupils and female students are proud of their status, which is emphasized by the school uniform.
A bag or a briefcase is attached to the form. An interesting detail of the form is the 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, and trousers. The choice of this style is not accidental. It has Prussian roots, as the 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.

School uniforms in Sri Lanka are usually white. In a hot country, this color is best suited. In all public and private schools in Sri Lanka, students wear school uniforms. The boys' uniform 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 cloth.

Despite the ambiguity of approaches in different countries, the problem of the school uniform is one of the most discussed in society. In most countries, the school uniform is the main element of student clothing because carries a number of positive meanings, such as: social, disciplining, aesthetic and image.
The social significance of school uniforms. Uniforms, in this case, neutralize the difference in the financial situation of the families of students, thus, blurring the line between strata of society and, as a result, helps in the assimilation of educational material, since students do not have the desire and ability to evoke feelings of inferiority and complex in their colleagues for study by defiling newfangled things and jewelry.
2. The disciplinary value of school uniforms. The school uniform complements intellectual and physical education with disciplinary provisions such as leadership, status and certain bonds, contributes to the development of a respect for clothing, and is also an important tool for social identification of students, it not only allows you to distinguish a student from a non-student, but also creates the necessary distance between students and teachers.
3. The aesthetic value of school uniforms. The aesthetic value of the school uniform is the student's appearance, 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 a sense of proportion in him and instills taste. A teenager in a school uniform will often always look nice and tidy.
4. The image value of school uniforms. The school uniform in this case acts not only as a reflection of a person's reality, but also as a general characteristic and emblem of an educational institution, which has its own respect, a high level of 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 testifies to 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 high corporate culture.
School uniform - is it good? Does it help class cohesion and discipline, or does it kill individuality and self-expression? Much depends on the traditions of education adopted in a particular country or in different schools.
Obviously, form alone will not make the student more curious, diligent, or smarter. And it makes no sense to refer to the experience of English educational institutions with a five-century history as an argument for the form. Even if all the children put on the robes and pointed hats of wizards, their school will not turn into Hogwarts. Nevertheless, the way schoolchildren look in a particular country says a lot about the culture and mentality of its people.

United Kingdom
The very concept of "school uniform" appeared in Great Britain. Back in 1553, near London, the Christ's Hospital School was founded by royal decree - an educational institution for boys from poor families, which is still called the "school of blue coats". True, now it is a privileged educational institution for children of both sexes. The uniform is still the same: long-length tailcoats, white "judge" ties, short culottes and yellow stockings. Oddly enough, children are proud of their medieval clothes and do not try to make a revolution in order to dress appropriately for the era.
In general, there are very few schools in the UK that do not have a mandatory form. Public schools have their own "heraldic colors" that must be observed by students. It is not uncommon for boys to wear shorts and knee-highs until late autumn until high school. In private institutions, you need to buy a uniform in a school store, and not only a suit in winter and summer versions, but also "fizra", socks, ties, often shoes and even hairpins.

Cuba
Cuban schoolchildren receive free sundresses and shorts in a rich cherry color - as well as textbooks and writing materials. The outfit of high school students is designed in tobacco colors. Closer to prom, Cubans are changing again, this time in blue shirts and blue pants and skirts. All children are members of the youth division of the Communist Party, so the uniform is complemented by red or blue headscarves - in the manner of pioneer ties.
India
In some schools, the girls' uniform is a sari or shalwar kameez of a specific color. But more often it is a European costume for everyone - a legacy from the times of British rule. Alas, what is good for the cool climate of "Foggy Albion" is pretty poisonous for the lives of children whose schools are located on the equator. Sikh boys wear turbans to school. In public schools, children from low-income families receive uniforms, textbooks and stationery for free, but, probably, every parent dreams of sending a child to school more abruptly, although by Indian standards this is quite an expensive pleasure.

Japan
The most famous version of the Japanese school uniform for girls is the sailor fuku, a sailor suit with many variations. The best designers are working on the development of models - after all, a spectacular form is one of the factors in attracting new students to school, which is extremely important in a rapidly aging country with a negative population growth. Recently, the trend has changed - sailors are losing their relevance, the Japanese school style is drifting towards English.
An interesting story happened with the men's traditional jacket with a stand-up collar - gakuran, reminiscent of the old tunic of military sailors. The word "gakuran" consists of two hieroglyphs, which mean "student" and "West", jackets of this style were worn by schoolchildren and students in Japan, Korea and China for almost 100 years (less in China, of course). But the gakuran also fell in love with members of numerous gangster associations. In addition, the same hieroglyphs can be deciphered as “school robbery”. In the 70s of the XX century, psychologists decided that the gakuran has a certain "dark aura" and is one of the reasons for school violence, which has become an acute social problem. But to this day, many Japanese schoolchildren wear gakuranas, for them it is not so much a tribute to tradition as a protest and challenge to public opinion.

China
After the end of the Cultural Revolution and until the mid-90s of the XX century, a variety of colors and styles reigned in the country - each school decided for itself how its students would look. However, in 1993, new state standards for school uniforms came out, from now on it was supposed to provide freedom of movement, be practical and cheap. And it turned out that the easiest way is to dress up children in tracksuits - both boys and girls. Only prestigious private schools insisted on following the British or Japanese style.
Since educational institutions have heating only in the very north of the country, in the cold season, children pull on their uniforms over warm clothes, but when the sun begins to warm up, pants and sweatshirts turn out to be a size or two larger. Today, most Chinese schools have opted for a bag of flour. It must be said that neither the students nor their parents liked this "fashion trend". Influenced by public opinion, and after several scandals in which carcinogens were found in cheap fabric, the Chinese government returned to the issue of school uniforms and again changed the standards in the direction of facilitation. So soon, Chinese children will not look like juvenile gopniks again.

Australia
The younger grades are usually dressed in standard polo shirts and shorts, and both girls and boys are convenient for active games. Private schools follow British tradition and dress up children in a business style. However, in general, Australian school clothes are devoid of elegance and hints of sexuality. The somewhat baggy dresses and heavy lace-up boots are believed to deter pedophiles.

Ireland
In many schools, plaid skirts and ties are adopted, which evoke associations with the Celtic clans. Instead of formal jackets, students usually wear knitted jumpers and cardigans. It is noteworthy that Irish children, as well as English ones, wear uniform golf even at sub-zero temperatures.
Germany
Perhaps the Germans are stopped by memories of the times of the Third Reich, when almost all children came to lessons in the form of the Hitler Youth, but in Germany there is no uniform in public schools, although for many years there has been debate on this matter, and in some places it is being introduced without delay. By the way, immigrants from the USSR, who moved to German lands, became big opponents of the unification of schoolchildren's clothes. On the other hand, individual school councils can make decisions on corporate school colors with the wish that at least something in the students' everyday attire matches the brand book.

Malaysia
In Muslim countries, the school uniform for girls is a hijab of varying degrees of severity. However, the people of Malaysia are not fundamentalists, besides, the country is very international, multilingual and tries to adhere to a pro-Western course. Muslim women wear elongated tunics, for female students from secular families there is a shorter version. The school uniform in the country was unified in 1970 - in both private and public schools, it is compulsory and the same, in blue and white. The country's Ministry of Education has officially banned schoolgirls from dyeing their hair and using cosmetics. Also, bijouterie and jewelry are banned, and in some places overly elegant hairpins.

Egypt
After the well-known revolutionary events, Islamic fundamentalists came to power in Egypt. At the same time, a law was passed allowing girls to come to lessons and exams in clothes that leave only their eyes open. However, in international schools, which work, as a rule, in resort cities where foreigners prefer to settle, everything is still practical and democratic. Schoolgirls in headscarves in Hurghada and Sharm al-Sheikh, of course, meet, but they are in the minority.

The girls are dressed in long dresses of bright green color with national embroidery and skullcaps. Hairstyle - two braids, and if you are not lucky with your own hair, then you can buy overhead. Moreover, uniforms are also worn by college students (blue) and universities (red). Boys come to classes in a more classic style, but also in skullcaps.
Japanese school uniform
In Japan, an individual form is developed for each educational institution, although everyone must obey generally accepted requirements. If there is a version of school classics in the country? Yes. This is a "sailor fuku" for girls, which is familiar to Russian schoolchildren from multiple animated works. Not many people know that socks, a scarf and even underwear are included in school uniforms in different countries, in particular in Japan. Despite the democratic approach to the clothing of schoolchildren, there are certain rules for wearing it 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 do not wear tights on their feet throughout the school year, only knee-highs or high socks. Even in extreme heat, girls are required to come in sweaters to the general school assembly, which is held under the supervision of the director three times a week. A must-have accessory attached to the form is a large portfolio or bag, as shown in the photo. Shoes are only allowed with low heels. An interesting fact, known to few: girls, in order to give long socks a lowered look, form an accordion-shaped bootleg and glue them with special glue directly to their feet.
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 age-related, for example, shorts are one of the elements of the uniform for boys under the age of 14, while the older ones are already switching to trousers. There are also seasonal differences, for example, summer light dresses for girls are replaced in the summer with warm sundresses in winter. 
The British, known throughout the world for their conservatism, turn out to be very fond of improvising. For example, no school uniform in any country contains straw hats, except at London Harrow School. School uniforms in other countries School uniforms in different countries are tied to the climatic conditions of the state and differ in some national flavor: Australia and Oceania: the uniform resembles British school clothes, only in a light 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
School uniforms in Australia and Oceania resemble the traditional British ones, but are more open and lighter. In Australia and New Zealand, due to the hot climate and unhealthy scorching sun, students wear hats as part of their school uniforms.
School uniforms in Thailand are the sexiest.
Students in Thailand are required to wear school uniforms from elementary school to college. The new style of uniform for female students looks very sexy. A white blouse that fits snugly around the upper body, and a black mini skirt with a slit that fits the thighs just as tightly. Of course, not in all educational institutions, Thai students can contemplate the merits and demerits of female students. Previously, girls wore skirts below the knee, so the older generation of Thais believe that such school uniforms are detrimental to morality. In addition, schoolgirls with flaws in their figure and overweight probably do not feel very comfortable in such clothes.
School uniforms in Malaysia are the most conservative.
Students in Malaysia are subject to fairly strict rules. Dresses for girls should be long 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 one.
School uniforms in Oman are believed to be the most striking example of the ethnicity of the nation. Guys should wear traditional, white Islamic clothing to school. Girls should cover their faces, or even better stay at home.
School uniforms in Bhutan are the most practical.
It is said that students in Bhutan do not carry school bags. All textbooks and pencil cases are placed under their clothes, because school uniforms are always bulging in different parts of the body.
The school uniform in the United States is the most cheeky.
Students can decide for themselves whether they buy and wear school uniforms or not. By the way, and how they will wear it, they also decide for themselves.

What school uniforms are worn in different countries. Photo.
In the modern era, school uniforms are compulsory in most of the developed countries of the world. Uniform advocates make the following arguments:
The form does not allow the development of subcultures in school.
- there are no interethnic, gender differences, the level of income of the parents is not visible from the clothes.
- children and students get used to the formal style of dress that will be needed in the future at work.
- students feel like a single team, a single team.
Let's see what kind of school uniform is worn in different countries of the world. It will be interesting.

School uniforms in England are the most classic.
The style of the school uniform is classic and traditional. High school students are expected to wear common English style school uniforms. Boys wear classic suits, regular leather boots and a tie. Girls also wear western-style clothes, regular leather shoes and a bow tie. It is believed that this classic style of dress subconsciously influences the temperament of English students as well as the sense of beauty.
The school uniform in Japan is the cutest.
For students in Japan, school uniforms are not only a symbol of the school, but also a symbol of modern fashion trends, which is often a decisive factor when choosing a school. Japanese school uniform for girls looks like sailor suits. An indispensable attribute of a school uniform for girls is a short skirt and knee-highs. Such schoolgirls are well known to anime lovers. The Japanese school uniform for boys is a classic dark suit, often with a stand-up collar.

In 1984, a blue three-piece suit was introduced for girls, consisting of a pleated A-line skirt, a jacket with patch pockets and a vest. The skirt could be worn with either a jacket or a vest, or the whole suit at once. An obligatory addition to the school uniform, depending on the age of the student, was the Oktyabryatsky (in the elementary grades), the pioneer (in the middle grades) or the Komsomol (in the senior grades) badges.
The school uniform, familiar to today's students from Soviet films, becomes mandatory after the Great Patriotic War - in 1949. From now on, boys were required to wear military tunics with a stand-up collar, and girls - brown woolen dresses with a black apron, and on holidays the dress could be black and the apron white. Fashionable school uniforms appeared in our country in the 1970s, however, only for boys. Gray woolen trousers and jackets were replaced by blue wool blend trousers and jackets. The cut of the jackets resembled classic denim jackets.
In Russia, a uniform school uniform was worn throughout the second half of the 20th century, but the first law on the introduction of a single uniform was adopted in the 19th century. In 1834, a general system of all civilian uniforms in the empire was approved - this system included gymnasium and student uniforms. Until 1917, the uniform was a class sign, since only children of wealthy parents could afford to study at the gymnasium. However, soon after the revolution, as part of the struggle against bourgeois vestiges and the legacy of the tsarist police regime, a decree was issued in 1918 abolishing the wearing of school uniforms.
In Turkey, almost all students in all public and private educational institutions wear uniforms. Most often, the color of the form is blue. School clothes differ between elementary and high school students. For example, girls change sundresses and long dresses for knee-length skirts, shirts and vests.
Japanese schoolchildren are very fond of their uniform, which dates back to the 19th century. She is one of the main symbols of the country and is very popular with tourists. Girls wear a sailor-fuku - a sailor suit, low-heeled shoes and knee-high socks. And so that long socks do not slip during the day, schoolgirls glue them to their feet 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.
School uniforms in India are worn throughout school life. Moreover, one-color saris are worn as a school uniform only in some Indian schools. In most schools, girls wear shirts and skirts, and boys wear dark trousers and a light shirt. Sometimes the sets are complemented by ties.
Public schools in the United States have never had strict requirements for the appearance of schoolchildren, so a student in jeans, a colored T-shirt and sneakers is the typical appearance of an American student. However, since the mid-90s, the form was nevertheless introduced, but it does not differ in business style. These are usually one-color T-shirts, shorts, trousers or dark colored skirts. If the school is private, then most likely there will be a uniform with a mandatory school logo. Unlike other countries, all schools in the United States have a mandatory dress code that is set by the school itself. Among the main requirements are not to wear miniskirts, transparent blouses, T-shirts with obscene inscriptions, etc.
Great Britain is famous for its conservatism in choosing a school uniform. School uniforms in England have not only always been compulsory, but have not changed in many prestigious educational institutions for decades. Traditionally, the prestige of a school has been determined by the fabric, color and badges on the tie or jacket. And until now, British clothing for schoolchildren is always a complete set, which includes a strict jacket or sweater, shirt, tie, skirt or trousers, shoes and even knee-highs or socks.
