SCHOOL UNIFORM
 WHY DO YOU NEED TO WEAR YOUR SCHOOL UNIFORM?
1. Helps to quickly identify students- This makes it easy to find young students
who’ve wandered off, as well as identify intruders in the school.
2. Helps to minimize bullying- Uniforms minimize the chances of bullying
based on socioeconomic status. Students who can’t afford the latest fashion
trends would not have to struggle to fit in.
3. Instills a sense of pride among students- This high sense of school spirit and
pride will inspire morality among students. It boosts the morale of the
students and promotes unity.
4. The focus shifts to learning- When the students are in the same uniform,
they will be able to focus on their studies instead of wandering around.
5. School uniforms save on costs- A uniform saves parents from having to keep
up with the latest trends.

choosing through the wardrobe every morning for something to wear to
school
