Every student in China needs to wear a uniform at school from primary school all the way to
the very last year of high school. The school uniform in China is an institution, and I believe my
parents and my grandparents also had to follow this tradition.
The typical school uniform in Fujian consists of a white shirt with a dark blue jacket and
trousers. It is a very simple ensemble and usually teachers ask their students to wear a pin with the
name of the school on it. Primary school students also need to wear a red scarf around their
necks
.
Red is the national color. Children wear what looks like a red triangle on their backs
.
It
represents one corner of the Chinese flag.
I think wearing a uniform is a positive thing for students because everyone looks
identical
.
It erases the social differences between students who come from different
backgrounds
.
It is harder to see whose parents have money and whose are not so rich. In addition,
students don't need to worry about what to wear and they can save a lot of time in the morning.
I think teachers like students to wear a uniform because it makes it easier for them to
discipline their students
.
A uniform represents organization and respect. It means that students
should obey and listen. I think it's a little bit like the army. The generals wear a different uniform
from the simple soldiers, just like the teachers wear their own clothes. They easily stand out and
appear superior. On top of this, everyone can recognize students in the street so students cannot do
too many bad things for fear of being noticed right away.
I think the main problem with the school uniforms in China is that the clothes are a bit too
old-fashioned
.
Some students are reluctant to wear them because the clothes are too large for them
or too conservative, not cool enough. I know that in Australia, students can wear trendy and
colorful uniforms with their school logo embroidered on a sweater or polo shirt. I can imagine that
it must be a lot nicer than our school uniform here.
