It’s back to school season and although we know that all of you are well past your grade school days, everyone can still feel the excitement of fall in the air. New wardrobes symbolize the start of the school year, but new clothes aren’t always the latest outfits found at the mall. Many schools both private and public are adopting uniform dress codes for the student body.
According to the Institute of Education Sciences, between the 2003-04 and 2011-12 school years, the percentage of public schools reporting that they required that students wear uniforms increased from 13 to 19 percent.
According to the website Statistic Brain, 23 percent of all public and private schools have a uniform policy.
The number is rising and we know why! There are many great benefits to uniforms, both for students and for adults in the workforce. Uniforms create a sense of unity, pride, and confidence. It’s been proven that uniforms can enhance the workplace, so imagine what they can do for schools!
