Nowadays, it is observed that many countries school children are instructed and required to wear school uniforms. I strongly agree that having a dress code should be compulsory in educational institutions because of many reasons like discipline and equality.
Firstly, a dress code helps to create a disciplined atmosphere in the school, which is necessary. School should be considered only as a place to learn and uniforms keep students focused on studies and keep them away from the peer pressure to look good even if one cannot afford to. For example, rich kids would attend school in fancy and branded clothes which will, unfortunately, generate the feeling of inferiority among others. Maintaining a school uniform will help to erase the inequality.
Secondly, uniforms help to avoid any inappropriate dressing among the students and also provides a sense of identity and recognition to educational institution. Every school issuing school uniforms have their unique decent costumes which have their school logo and name. it makes easy to identify students of the particular school.
Thirdly, school uniforms also help parents to save. If a dress code will not be mandatory, they will have to buy different clothes in order to fulfill their children’s desire. Whereas, if we talk about school uniforms it is just an annual expense.
To sum up, I believe that the uniform must be compulsory as it plays a significant role in maintaining discipline in school campus and also help students to concentrate on their studies instead of focusing on fashion activities.
