From the history of school uniforms
Few people know that the fashion for school uniforms came to Russia from England in 1834!!! First for boys, and then, when women's gymnasiums began to appear, and for girls. The boys flaunted in caps with the emblem of the gymnasium, tunics, overcoats, jackets, trousers, black boots and with an indispensable satchel behind their backs. The girls' uniform was also strict: brown dresses with aprons, however, made of high quality fabric and with an elegant cut that made the girl's silhouette slim.
However, already in those days, high school students were ambivalent about the form. On the one hand, they were proud, because the children of wealthy parents studied in the gymnasiums, and the uniform emphasized their belonging to the upper class. On the other hand, they did not like it, because they were obliged to wear uniforms after school. If high school students in uniform were met in the wrong places: in the theater, at the hippodrome, in a cafe, they had a hard time. On the days of Russian celebrations, high school students dressed in a festive uniform close to the clothes of adults: a military-style suit for a boy and a dark dress with a pleated knee-length skirt for a girl.
After the revolution, they did not think about the form until 1949. In 1962, the boys were dressed in gray woolen suits, and in 1973, in suits made of blue wool blend, with an emblem and aluminum buttons. In 1976, girls also began to dress in a new uniform. Since then, girls began to walk in dark brown dresses, and boys in blue suits. In the mid-80s, the last uniform reform took place: blue jackets were sewn for boys and girls.
And only in 1992, the school uniform was canceled, excluding the corresponding line from the law “On Education”. Brown dresses and blue suits have replaced “boiled jeans”, flared trousers and girlish outfits in the spirit of “whoever is in what much”. AT modern Russia there was no single school uniform, as was the case in the USSR, but many lyceums and gymnasiums, especially the most prestigious ones, as well as some schools, had their own uniform, emphasizing the belonging of students to one or another educational institution.
School uniforms in different countries (some facts)
Modern students of conservative England still love the school uniform, which is part of the history of their school. For example, in one of the old English schools for boys, students from the 17th century to this day wear uniform ties and vests and, by the way, are proud that the clothes emphasize their corporate affiliation. The largest European country in which there is a school uniform is Great Britain. In many of its former colonies, the uniform was not abolished after independence, for example, in India, Ireland, Australia, Singapore and South Africa.
In France, a single school uniform existed in 1927-1968. In Poland - until 1988.
There is no uniform school uniform in Germany, although there is debate about its introduction. Some schools have introduced uniform school clothing that is not a uniform, as students can participate in its development. Tellingly, even during the Third Reich, schoolchildren did not have a single uniform - they came to classes in everyday clothes, in the form of the Hitler Youth (or other children's public organizations).
In Japan, school uniforms are compulsory for most middle and high schools. Each school has its own, but in reality there are not so many options. Usually it is a white shirt and dark jacket and trousers for boys, and a white shirt and dark jacket and skirt for girls, or sailor fuku - “sailor suit”. A large bag or briefcase is usually given to the form. Pupils primary school, as a rule, dress in ordinary children's clothes.
In India, the school uniform is compulsory and consists of a light shirt and dark blue trousers for boys, white blouses with dark skirts for girls. In some schools, the school uniform may also be a sari of the same color and cut.
School uniforms in Africa are striking in their variety and color schemes. In Africa, you can meet schoolchildren not only in blue or blue clothes, but also in yellow, pink, purple, orange and green.
In Jamaica, uniforms are compulsory for school students. This rule applies in most Caribbean countries. Many schools have set the mandatory color of shoes and socks, the allowable height of heels. Jewelry (other than stud earrings) is usually prohibited, and some schools have their own requirements for students' hairstyles. School uniforms for boys in Jamaica are most commonly khaki and consist of a short sleeve shirt and trousers. School uniforms for girls vary greatly from school to school. A common option is a light-colored shirt with short sleeves and a skirt or sundress below the knees. The uniform is often supplemented with stripes, emblems, epaulettes in order to distinguish between schools.
In ordinary schools in Cyprus, boys wear gray trousers with a white shirt, and girls wear a gray skirt or trousers also with a white shirt. Some schools may have different student uniforms. For example, the color of trousers and skirts is changed to blue. Or a special shape color is added for the holidays.
In Turkey, school uniforms vary at different levels of education. So, for example, in elementary school, students wear blue uniforms. In middle and high school, boys wear charcoal trousers, white or blue shirts, jackets, and ties. Girls wear skirts and shirts of the same color as boys, as well as ties. Most private schools have their own school uniforms.
In schools in Muslim countries required attribute The female school uniform is a headscarf. When girls turn 12, they wear a hijab. However, even up to the age of 12, starting from the first grade, they wear a school uniform, which is also Muslim clothing and is in many ways similar to the hijab.
In Myanmar, younger boys wear pants and older boys wear long skirts.
The women's school uniform of Laos is distinguished by a beautiful long wrap skirt and an original ornament.
In Japan, school uniforms are compulsory for most middle and high schools. Most often it is a white shirt and dark jacket and trousers for boys, the uniform is called "gakuran", and a white blouse, dark jacket and skirt for girls, or "sailor fuku" - "sailor suit", with a distinctively bright tie. Detail of the wardrobe of a Japanese schoolgirl - stockings or socks. A large bag or briefcase is usually attached to the form. Primary school students, as a rule, dress in ordinary children's clothes.
In the US and Canada, there are school uniforms in many private schools. There is no uniform uniform in public schools, although some schools have introduced rules for wearing clothes (dress code).
"Dress code" - the word is relatively new, but has already become fashionable, at least for those who work in the office. Literally means “code of clothing”, that is, a system of identification marks, color combinations and forms that indicate a person’s belonging to a particular corporation. The employer can set their own rules: for example, women are not allowed to come to work in trousers, or - only business suits are allowed, or skirts must be knee-length - neither shorter nor longer, free form on Fridays, etc. etc. Many adult Russians have already joined the corporate spirit, but their children still go to school “in whatever way”.
“- Children should be familiar with the fact that a costume is something more than just clothes from childhood. It is a means of communication. It depends on how you look, how others will communicate with you, - says fashion designer Vyacheslav Zaitsev. Perhaps a school dress code can be of great service to boost one's self-esteem, because it allows one to dress stylishly, albeit strictly.

Do you know how schoolchildren in other countries dress?
How the current schoolchildren of the former huge country dress and what is the attitude to this school uniform now, we already know firsthand.
We all have different opinions, we all have different moods, and everyone remains with his own. And yet, the time when the disciples Ancient Greece put on a mantle over chitons, and in ancient india it was obligatory to wear dhoti breeches and a kurta shirt even in extreme heat, not so far. And the tradition of dressing in a special uniform that distinguishes non-student children from students, whatever one may say, has remained. Although in Russia XIX centuries, it was not considered shameful to walk in a gymnasium uniform after school, and was even encouraged. But ... times are running, years are passing, and now France, Germany and a good half of Europe have already canceled any form at all, and colorful kids are dragging colorful satchels, blowing chewing bubbles.
But still traditions remain and manners remain. Let's see how and what the students of those countries in which the school uniform has not been canceled are dressed. We will see what is unusual in such clothes, or we will feel nostalgia. And we will see that one can even be proud of “one’s own” school and one’s school uniform.
In our opinion, it’s not bad at all to have your own style, your own emblem, your own distinction and be disciplined in everything.
Japan
School uniforms appeared in Japan at the end of the 19th century. At present, school uniforms are available in most private and public schools, but there is no single style and color scheme.
Japanese schoolgirls, 1920, 1921
In the early 20s of the twentieth century, women's school fashion Sailors of the European standard entered. Oriental culture lovers call them in Japanese style seifuku or sailor fuku (sailor suit). Such dresses were ordered from a certain manufacturer only for students of a particular school. Sailor shorts were and still are popular in many schools, but they all differ in cut and color details.
Often on the Internet you can find images of high school girls in very short uniform skirts. Naturally, the uniform is not sewn with such short skirts, schoolgirls shorten them themselves. Fashion for short school skirts appeared in the early 90s under the influence of the popular Japanese pop singer Nami Amuro. Basically, tucking from above and pulling with a belt, and from above the collar and belt are closed with a jacket, jacket or vest. In this form, Japanese schoolgirls defile, as a rule, from home to school, and before entering the educational institution, skirts fall to the required length. While in the 70-80s in the Soviet school, young fashionistas (and their mothers) shortened their uniforms forever, cutting off the “extra” length and hemming the hem.
Sri Lanka
In all public and most private schools in Sri Lanka, students wear a school uniform.
The uniform for boys consists of a white short-sleeved shirt and blue shorts (up to grade 10, about 15 years old). On ceremonial occasions, a white long-sleeved shirt and white shorts are worn. Boys over 10th grade wear trousers instead of shorts.
The school uniform for girls differs from school to school, however, as a rule, it consists entirely of white matter. Possible differences: dress with short sleeves or without sleeves, with or without a collar. To white dress a tie is usually included.
Below is an example of a uniform in a Muslim school in Sri Lanka

Butane
The school uniform of Bhutan is a variant of the traditional national dress called "gho" for boys and "kira" for girls. Each school has its own color scheme.
Cuba
In Cuba, the form is mandatory, and not only for schoolchildren, but also for students. By the color of the school uniform, you can determine in which grade the child is studying.
There are three main types of form.
Junior classes - burgundy and white. Girls dress in burgundy sundresses and white blouses. Boys wear burgundy trousers with white shirts. Both boys and girls wear kerchief ties in the style of those worn by Soviet schoolchildren. True, in Cuba, ties are not only red, but also blue.
Middle classes - white top and yellow bottom. For girls, these are yellow skirts, and for boys, trousers. The girls also wear tall white socks under their sunny skirts. This version of the uniform is for older students.

This uniform is worn by elementary and middle school students. High school girls wear the traditional national clothes of Aozai (a long silk shirt worn over pants) white color. High school students prefer dark pants and white shirts, but without a tie. In remote villages, school uniforms are not worn.
Girls dressed in Aozai look very elegant
Traditional clothes are not only beautiful, but also comfortable.
England
In modern England, each school has its own uniform. School symbols and a certain style are widely used here, which distinguish students. Moreover, in prestigious schools in England, uniforms are a matter of pride. Jackets, trousers, ties and even socks should in no case deviate from a given tradition. This is considered not just a violation, but also disrespect for a particular educational institution.
Below are the most interesting, in our opinion, schools in England.
The King's School in Macclesfield
The Ryleys Preparatory School
Cheadle Hulme School
Eton College

Introduction
Learning a foreign language includes not only the study of new words, grammar rules, it is very important to get acquainted with the countries of the language being studied, their inhabitants, traditions.
I have been studying English since the second grade and I have always been very interested in learning more about people living in the UK, their interests, customs and traditions.
This year, one of the topics we discussed in class in English, was a "school". In one of the lessons we learned that in England school uniforms are compulsory, moreover, students wear them with pride. This statement intrigued me. I wanted to know what kind of uniform English schoolchildren have.
Object of studyis the school uniform of schools in England.
Research objectives:
- expand knowledge about the UK;
- to increase interest in the culture and customs of Great Britain;
- learn about the school uniform of English schools, its traditions;
- consider the diversity of the given topic.
Research methods:
- work with scientific literature;
- searching for information on the Internet.
History reference.
School uniform - casualthe form clothes for students during their stay inschool and on official school activities out school.
England is the first country in the world to have a school uniform. It happened during the reign of the kingHenry VIII in the middle of the 16th century. Soldier uniforms were taken as a basis. This uniform was a long cloak-coat in blue. Blue paint at that time was the cheapest and most affordable, and was supposed to indicate humility to children.
The first school to introduce this form wasChrist Hospital . It was a charity school for boys from poor families.
AT 1870 school uniforms were adopted in most English schools. At that time, Great Britain was a large country and owned colonies in Australia, Cyprus, Ireland and Canada, in the eastern part of North America. Uniforms have also become mandatory in schools in these countries. The school uniform acted as a tool that develops discipline among students, and also contributed to the formation of relations between students.
England is a country where traditions are valued, this is reflected in the appearance of schoolchildren. For a very long time, the uniform for boys was: a blazer jacket, a gray flannel shirt (white in summer or on holidays), dark gray trousers or shorts, gray stockings, a dark blue raincoat, black boots. In cold weather, they wore a V-neck pullover, a cap with the school logo and a company tie.
However, over time, there were schools on a private fee basis. In this case, the school uniform was needed not to equate all students, but on the contrary, to show their attitude to a higher stratum of society. At the same time, some rules for wearing a school uniform are determined, which allow determining the prestige of a student within a school institution. For example, a designated number of buttons is fastened on a jacket, or a uniform cap is worn at a certain angle; shoe laces are laced in a special way; a school bag is worn over the shoulder or worn by one handle and so on. This may not have been noticed by ordinary passers-by, but among their own it showed a certain hierarchy.
In English schools where school uniforms are accepted, they are always available different sizes. It is issued to students belonging to this educational institution for free.
Currently, not only in schools, but also in universities in England, pupils and students must wear a uniform.
School uniform in modern England
The UK is the largest European country that has a school uniform,
To date, the form of students in Britain looks something like this:
- A strict jacket, blazer or sweater with the emblem of the educational institution;
- A shirt that matches the color of the school uniform;
- Strict tie (for both girls and boys);
- Strict trousers for boys, long and strict skirts for girls;
- Patent leather shoes for boys, shoes with a small heel for girls.
The introduction of school uniforms in modern Britain is justified by the fact that representatives of the Ministry of Education believe that a single style of school uniform helps to maintain discipline, and also affects the positive behavior of the student. Also, the school uniform blurs the line between students of all races and classes.
It is worth noting that in many schools the student parliament is directly involved in the creation and development of the school uniform style, which instills responsibility in students from a young age. Young designers are developing a form that will determine the overall look and prestige of the school.
Each school in the United Kingdom has its own color and emblem. Pupils wear the emblem, of course, on jackets, jumpers, dresses, and the color is displayed in a tie, which today has become an indispensable attribute of the modern form of English schoolchildren. But the differences in the form of students are not only in this ...
And yet, it is different!
You will never confuse students from two different UK schools. Because with a fairly strong unification of the form, it still differs significantly in different schools. This is due to the vision of the leadership of each of them as a necessary (or sufficient) measure of comfort for the child, with adherence to historical traditions, with the school belonging to the number of elite educational institutions, etc.
And here are some examples:
Christ's Hospital School (Christ Hospital School)
Co-educational independent private school (for boys and girls).
The first school "cassocks" have remained in history, but until now, students of Christ's Hospital School wear the same cut as 400-500 years ago. True to tradition, the British left it as an everyday school dress that is worn on weekdays. Here, girls and girls are required to wear long skirts and closed jackets with long sleeves. Boys and young men wear cropped trousers (like breeches) with yellow golfs, over which they put on a long frock coat, in fact, very reminiscent of the attire of a pastor. True, a hundred years ago, a student was required to wear such a uniform all the time, even when traveling to another city, and now students just go to class in it. Such uniforms are a surprising exception these days, and the students of Christ's Hospital School are very proud of their ancient - they say "ancient" - attire.
Burlington Danes Academy Burlington Danes School)
When making a school uniform, a special insert from a reflective element called Orafol is used. This is a very good move, since at night the form is able to reflect the car headlights of cars that are moving along the road. This shows that the state cares about its students, thus increasing security.
The colors are dominated by red and emerald. Girls are characterized by a classic jacket, they put on a shirt in a small cage under it, and the skirt is worn to the knee and white stockings. A beret completes the uniform ensemble as a great addition. For boys, all the same blazers are provided, under which you can see a light shirt and put on a striped tie. Pants are almost classic type. The left chest of the jacket is adorned with the school's emblem, and badges pinned to the lapel of the collar can also be used.
Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School(Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School)
AT London School Elizabeth Garrett Andersonschoolchildren are given a unique opportunity to express their creative ideas and wishes regarding school uniforms. So, each student takes part in the creation of a unique uniform. Thus, it is possible to take into account the individual wishes of each child and create a school outfit that will not only be comfortable, but also original in appearance. For tailoring, the most diverse palette is used. The shape itself can be more subdued in color, but some inserts will be full of the brightest colors.
Girls are allowed to wear a looser cut blazer instead of the usual and more strict jacket. Also, there is no strict restriction on the length of the skirt, however, in the case short skirts observance of the rules of decency. Boys can wear a regular white or light-colored t-shirt under a blazer. Shoes for everyone have a low sole, girls wear moccasins, boys wear shoes with laces.
Eton College (Eton)
Eton is the most prestigious, highly privileged private school for boys, where only children from the wealthiest families in the UK study.
Girls are not accepted there, so only men's uniforms are assumed. Today it is: an old-fashioned frock coat, "morning" trousers, a bow tie and the most extravagant waistcoat that you can get.
Harrow School (Harrow School)
Another old one English School for boys. A distinctive feature of the school uniform is a hat. The students of this school wear top hats in winter and straw hats in summer. The shirt does not have to be white, but light shades. Light gray trousers and a dark blue jacket. The shoes are black lace-up shoes that have a classic look.
The Cheltenham Ladies" College (Cheltenham Women's College)
Cheltenham is exclusively for girls. Students wear knee-length skirts (no trousers) and green jumpers.
Tudor Hall School (School Tudor - Hall)
Tudor Hall School is a women's school where not everyone is accepted: high academic performance and a good background are assumed. Form: green plaid skirt, green blazer and pale blue jumper.
Anthony Gell School (Anthony Gell)
Still, in England there are schools where it is allowed to attend classes not in school uniform. It is allowed to come to school in comfortable decent everyday clothes. These include the Anthony Jell School, where school uniforms have been abolished.
However, in general, such phenomena are the exception rather than the rule. Perhaps that is why they are so conspicuous. The general impression testifies precisely to uniformity, order and tradition in every British school.
School uniform in Russia
In our country, school uniforms for boys were introduced only in the middle of the 19th century, and for girls at the end of the 19th century. The uniform of the boys originally had a semi-military look. Similar in style, caps and caps, trousers and coats, overcoats and half-caftan uniforms, and later, shirts, blouses, gymnasts, differed in color, piping, as well as buttons and emblems. General form shape changed several times. The main color of the gymnasium uniform was dark green, then blue in all its shades, gray was rare. Pupils in gymnasiums wore closed brown dresses with a high collar and aprons - black on school days and white on holidays. The dress uniform was complemented by a white turn-down collar and a straw hat. In private women's gymnasiums and boarding schools, the uniform could be of different colors (coffee, white, blue, gray). After the revolution of 1917, the unified school uniform was abolished, and introduced again after the end of the Great Patriotic War in 1948.
At present, a single uniform for secondary schools and educational institutions in Russia has not been adopted, although wearing a school uniform as a set of style items for students within each particular school is mandatory. The decision to wear certain items of school uniform with one or another established color or symbolism is usually taken at the level of individual schools, their boards of trustees, parents and teachers.
Conclusion
A single school uniform plays a significant role in the life of a student. It does not allow the development of subcultures at school, the level of income of parents is not visible by clothing, children and students get used to the official style of clothing that will be needed at work in the future, students feel like a single team, a single team.
I would like to note that in modern Russia there is no single school uniform. AT educational institutions who do not have a school uniform, there are rules for wearing business style clothes. In our school, students are also required business style in clothes. And although our class is very friendly, and we do not have a division of children into poor and rich, I would really like it to be customary to wear a single uniform in my school. I think that all students and first-graders, and graduates put it on with pleasure, felt pride in their appearance and feel connected to our school.
