A school is a temple of learning, where knowledge is spread and the all round quality of a child is developed. With this expansion of knowledge, good qualities are revealed in the child. It is because of these good qualities that children make their lives happy and progress. Every organization has rules, in which every person working has to follow the rules which are made by his management.

Children studying in school follow school rules. Also has to be done compulsorily. One of them is the school uniform, which is required to be worn by the child studying in the school, which creates a different identity for every institution.

Meaning of school uniform

School uniform means the special clothes that students wear in school. The school uniform is designed according to the school rules. This uniform represents the identity of the students, the uniqueness of the school, unity and discipline. Uniforms often include the school's logo and colors.

By wearing it, the child considers himself a student of that school, where he has to go to study.

Distinctive identity

Every school has a different uniform, which forms the identity of the school. Every school has only one color of uniform. Children look alike wearing it. Along with the uniform, when children wear tie-belts and eye cards, it further enhances the level of school identity.

Apart from this, students represent their school when they gather in assembly. It creates more identity of its institution among people outside the school.

The first common identity is the school uniform

No student likes to wear expensive or colorful clothes. They consider themselves part of an organization and create a friendly environment. Students feel at ease while reading. Their attention does not wander here and there due to the same attire of all. This makes it easier for students to focus on their studies and also for teachers.

There is no need to deal with problems.

Eliminates Discrimination

Wearing school uniform was not customary in ancient times. Children used to come to school wearing whatever colorful clothes they wanted.

With this, children used to be victims of high and low, but with time, everything has changed. Now every school has a different uniform, which is very mandatory to wear. Wearing a school uniform gives students a sense of equality and unity. Whether a student belongs to a rich or a poor home, the same uniform keeps them away from all differences.

Every institution has its own discipline, which is very important for children to follow. By wearing uniform, they follow school discipline and become serious about studies.

They not only listen to their teachers very carefully but also obey everything they say, which leads to their development. Thus school uniform inculcates qualities of hard work, discipline and social caution in students.

Cooperation among students

By wearing school uniform, the feeling of mutual cooperation and friendship among students increasesis They understand that we are all the same and there is no difference between us. Such a mindset motivates students to work together.

This gives them a sense of close friendship and good classmates, which makes the learning process constructive and interesting. Confidence and enthusiasm is created in the students.

School uniform is selected by the school management committee, due to which it remains easy to buy. Everything would be provided cheaply from one place is, due to which one does not have to take the risk of unnecessary trouble. Children don't insist on buying extra colorful clothes to go to school as it is necessary to wear uniform everyday for school.
