  1. Karnataka Reverses 2022 Uniform Order, Allows Religious Symbols

    Karnataka government allows students to wear religious symbols like hijab and sacred thread with uniforms. New order from May 14, 2026, permits symbols if they don't affect safety or identification.

  2. Karnataka has reversed its 2022 uniform order. Now, students can wear religious symbols like the hijab and sacred thread with their school uniforms, a change from the strict rules previously in place.

  3. If schools insist on hanging on to the archaic 20th century habit of making students wear uniforms, maybe they should supply them? Parents could pay a bond at the start of the school year. So when students return their uniform items at the end of it, parents would only have to pay for items that got lost or damaged.

  5. "Wellington woman was horrified when she was handed the bill for her son's uniform this year and discovered she had to pay more than $1000.

    ... She said every uniform item had the school's crest on it so she could not buy a cheaper generic version. The uniform was bought from the school's uniform shop."

  7. Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen Yoon, J, Rei, and Liz-- Rock U (Orig. KARA).

    Normally I am not so keen on chants, but what precedes and follows here is some wonderfully melodic writing from Sweetune, providing a context that makes that chanting quite winning. I love the production, and think all the girls’ voices work well together here; Yoon and J are always favourites of mine. For this stage, the school uniform look echoes without replicating the the KARA stages of long ago.

    Where would Kpop be without school uniforms, especially the “Clueless” variant? There’s probably an article, or even a book, to be written on this topic.

  9. So I'm watching the first episode of a show called #MrMidnight Beware of the Monsters. It's a Singaporean series about some blogger highschool kids confronting the supernatural. It's kinda fun so far.

    But I'm looking at how the main character is dressed, and I'm like "Okay, that's an interesting style choice, but what do I know about Singaporean teenage fashion." Then I notice that several other kids are wearing the same thing. It's a school uniform.

    Khaki pants, black belt, Paisley (kinda) shirt

    Is… is that seriously a realistic Singaporean High School uniform?

    I'm not criticizing or shaming or anything, my fashion sense begins and ends with jeans and a T-shirt. But wow, that's a wild choice for a school uniform…

  10. "There are several steps the New Zealand government could take when it comes to school uniforms, including making subsidies for uniform costs more accessible and less bureaucratic. The government could legislate state funding of school uniforms for high-need students."

    ... or we could just admit that school uniforms are a pointless hangover from the colonial era and ban making them compulsory. If not get rid of them altogether.

  12. Approximately 24% of parents of #teenagers have to take out a loan to pay for #school costs.

    We also keep hearing about how schools need to prepare children for the world of #work. Let's kill two birds with one stone. Jobs that require uniforms provide them for free. To prepare children for the workforce, schools should also provide uniforms for free.

  15. As someone that went to both types of schools--one that requires students to wear uniforms & no dress code, MatPat speaks the truth.

    What #MatPat addresses and I didn't realize as a kid is that uniforms give the school a sense of professionalism while hiding the core issues of the education system.
