Introduction

Learning a foreign language includes not only learning new words, grammar rules, it is very important to get acquainted with the countries of the target language, their inhabitants, and traditions.

I have been studying English since the second grade and it was always very interesting for me to learn more about people living in Great Britain, about their interests, customs, traditions.

This year one of the topics that we discussed in our English lessons was “school”. In one of the lessons, we learned that in England school uniforms are compulsory, moreover, students wear them with pride. I was interested in this statement. I wanted to know what the uniforms of English schoolchildren are.

Historical reference.

School uniform - everydayform clothes for pupils while they were inschool and at formal school events outside of 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. Soldiers' uniforms were taken as a basis. This uniform was a long blue raincoat. Blue paint was the cheapest and most readily available at that time, and was supposed to indicate humility to children.

The first school to introduce this form wasHospital of christ ... It was a charity school for poor boys.

IN 1870 year school uniforms have been adopted in most English schools. During that period, Great Britain was a large country and owned colonies in Australia, Cyprus, Ireland and Canada, in the eastern part of North America. In schools in these countries, the wearing of a uniform has also become compulsory. The school uniform acted as a tool for developing discipline among students, and also contributed to the formation of relationships between students.

England is a country where traditions are appreciated, this is reflected in the appearance of schoolchildren. For a very long time, the uniform for boys consisted of: a blazer jacket, a gray flannel shirt (white in summer or on holidays), dark gray trousers or shorts, gray knee socks, a dark blue raincoat, black boots. In cold weather, they wore a V-neck pullover, a cap with the school's logo and a branded tie.

However, over time, schools arose 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 towards a higher stratum of society. At the same time, some rules for wearing a school uniform are determined, which make it possible to determine the prestige of a student within a school institution. For example, a specified number of buttons is fastened on a jacket or a uniform cap is worn at a certain angle; laces in shoes are laced in a special way; a school bag is worn over the shoulder or worn by one handle, and so on. It may not have been noticed by ordinary passers-by, but among its own people it showed a certain hierarchy.

In English schools, where the school uniform is adopted, there are always different sizes available. It is issued to students belonging to this educational institution completely free of charge.

Nowadays, not only in schools, but also in universities in England, pupils and students must wear a uniform.

School uniforms in modern England

The UK is the largest European country with school uniforms,

Today, the form of students in Britain looks like this:
- Formal jacket, blazer or sweater with the logo 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 shoes for boys, shoes with a small heel for girls.
The introduction of the school uniform in modern Britain is justified by the fact that representatives of the Ministry of Education believe that a uniform 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 style of school uniforms, which fosters responsibility in students from a young age. Young designers develop a uniform that will influence the overall look and prestige of the school.
Each UK school has its own color and logo. Students wear the emblem, of course, on jackets, jumpers, dresses, and the color is displayed in a tie, which has become an indispensable attribute of the modern uniform of English schoolchildren today. 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 schools in the UK. Because with a fairly strong unification of the form, it still significantly differs in different schools. This is due to the vision of the leadership of each of them with the necessary (or sufficient) measure of comfort for the child, with adherence to historical traditions, with the school's belonging to the number of elite educational institutions, etc.

And here are some examples:

Christ's Hospital School

Independent private coeducational school (for boys and girls).

The first school "cassocks" remained in history, but students at Christ's Hospital School still wear uniforms in the same cut as 400-500 years ago. True to tradition, the British left it as everyday school clothes that are worn on weekdays. Long skirts and closed jackets with long sleeves are obligatory here for girls and young women. Boys and young men wear cropped trousers (like breeches) with yellow golfs, over which a long frock coat is worn, in fact, very reminiscent of the attire of a pastor. True, a hundred years ago a student was obliged to wear such a uniform all the time, even when traveling to another city, and now students simply go to classes in it. Such uniforms are an amazing exception these days, and the students of Christ's Hospital School are very proud of their old - they say "ancient" - attire.

Burlington Danes Academy ( Burlington Danes School)

When making school uniforms, a special insert from a reflective element called Orafol is used. This is a very good move, as in the dark, the shape is able to reflect the headlights of cars that move along the road. This shows that the state takes care of its students, thus increasing safety.

The colors are dominated by red and emerald. For girls, a classic jacket is characteristic, a shirt in a small cage is put under it, and a skirt is worn to the knee and white knee-highs. A beret completes the uniform ensemble as a perfect complement. For boys, the same blazers are provided, under which you can see a light shirt and put on a striped tie. The trousers are almost of the classic style. The left chest of the jacket is decorated with the school emblem; badges pinned to the collar lapel can also be used.

Elizabeth garrett anderson school(Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School)

IN Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School of Londonschoolchildren 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, you can take into account the individual wishes of each child and create a school outfit that will not only differ in convenience, but also in an original appearance. The most varied palette is used for sewing clothes. The shape itself can be of a more muted color, but some inserts will be full of the brightest colors.

Girls are allowed to wear a more loose cut blazer instead of the usual and stricter jacket. Also, there is no strict limitation on the length of the skirt, however, in the case of short skirts, it is imperative to observe the rules of decency. Boys can wear a plain white or light-colored T-shirt under the blazer. Shoes for all have low soles, girls wear moccasins, boys wear lace-up shoes.

Eton College (Eton)

Eaton is the most prestigious, highly privileged private school for boys, where children only from the richest families in the UK study.

Girls are not accepted there, so only male uniforms are assumed. Today it is: a frock coat of an old-fashioned cut, "morning" trousers, a bow tie and the most extravagant vest that you can get your hands on.

Harrow School

Another old English school for boys. A distinctive feature of the school uniform is the hat. Students at 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 navy blue jacket. Shoes are black lace-up shoes that have a classic look.

The Cheltenham Ladies "College (Cheltenham Women's College)

Only girls study in Cheltenham. Students wear knee-length skirts (no pants) and green jumpers.

Tudor Hall School

Tudor Hall School is a girls' school where not everyone is accepted: high academic performance and a good background are assumed. Shape: green plaid skirt, green blazer and soft 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 clothes of a daily type. These include the Anthony Gell School, in which the school uniform has been canceled.

However, in general, such phenomena are more likely exceptions than rules. Perhaps that is why they are so striking. The general impression, however, testifies precisely to the uniformity, order and tradition in each British school.

School uniforms 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 boys' uniform was originally paramilitary. Similar in style, caps and caps, trousers and coats, overcoats and uniforms, half-caftans, and later, and shirts, blouses, gymnastics, differed in color, edging, as well as buttons and emblems. The general view of the form has changed several times. The main color of the gymnasium uniform was dark green, then blue in all its shades, gray was rare. The girls in the 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 female gymnasiums and boarding schools, the uniform could be of different colors (coffee, white, blue, gray). After the 1917 revolution, the uniform school uniform was abolished and reintroduced after the end of the Great Patriotic War in 1948.

At present, no uniform uniform has been adopted for secondary schools and educational institutions in Russia, although the wearing of 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 uniforms with one or another established color or symbolism is usually made at the level of individual schools, their boards of trustees, parents and teachers.

Conclusion

A uniform 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 clothes, children and students get used to the official style of dress, which will be needed in the future at work, students feel like a single team, a single team.

I would like to note that in modern Russia there is no uniform school uniform. In educational institutions that do not have a school uniform, there are rules for wearing business style clothes. In our school, students are also required to wear a business dress code. And although our class is very friendly, and we do not have a division of children into rich and poor, I would really like it to be customary at my school to wear a uniform uniform. I think that all pupils and first-graders and graduates gladly put it on, felt pride in their appearance and felt a part of our school.

Since September 1, 2013, a uniform school uniform has reappeared in Russian schools. In some regions, schools follow the recommendations of local authorities, in others they set the requirements for students' clothing themselves.

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 sported in caps with the emblem of the gymnasium, tunics, greatcoats, jackets, trousers, black boots and with an indispensable knapsack on their backs. The girls' uniforms were also strict: brown dresses with aprons, however, made of high quality fabric and with graceful cut, which made the girlish silhouette slim.

However, already in those days, gymnasium students treated the form ambiguously. On the one hand, they were proud, because the children of wealthy parents studied at 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 the uniform after school. If gymnasium 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 festive uniforms, close to those 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, the form was not thought of until 1949. In 1962, the boys were dressed in gray woolen suits, and in 1973 - in suits of blue wool blend, with an emblem and aluminum buttons. In 1976, girls also began to dress in new uniforms. From then on, girls began to wear dark brown dresses, and boys - in blue suits. In the mid-80s, the last reform of the uniform 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", bell-bottomed trousers and girly outfits in the spirit of "who in that way." In modern Russia there was no uniform school uniform, as it was in the USSR, but many lyceums and gymnasiums, especially the most prestigious ones, as well as some schools had their own form, 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 institution. 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, take pride in the fact that their clothes emphasize their corporate identity. The largest European country with a school uniform is the United Kingdom. In many of its former colonies, the form was not abolished after independence, for example in India, Ireland, Australia, Singapore and South Africa.

In France, a uniform school uniform existed in the years 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, which is not a uniform, since students can participate in its design. Tellingly, even during the Third Reich, schoolchildren did not have a uniform uniform - they came to classes in casual clothes, in the form of the Hitler Youth (or other children's public organizations).

In Japan, school uniform is compulsory for most middle and high schools. Each school has its own, but in fact 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. Primary school students usually dress in normal children's clothing.

In India, school uniforms are compulsory and consist of a light shirt and navy blue trousers for boys, white blouses with dark skirts for girls. In some schools, the school uniform may have a uniform color and cut sarees.

School uniforms in Africa are striking in variety and color schemes. In Africa, you can find schoolchildren not only in blue or blue clothes, but also in yellow, pink, purple, orange and green.

In Jamaica, the uniform is compulsory for students in schools. This rule applies in most of the Caribbean. Many schools have a compulsory color for shoes and socks, the permissible heel height. Jewelry (except for stud earrings) is usually prohibited, and some schools have their own requirements for students' hairstyles. The school uniform for boys in Jamaica is most often in khaki color and consists of a short-sleeved shirt and trousers. School uniforms for girls vary significantly from school to school. A common option is a light shirt with short sleeves and a skirt or sundress below the knees. The uniform is often supplemented with patches, emblems, shoulder straps in order to distinguish between schools.

In regular 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 color for the holiday uniform is added.

In Turkey, school uniforms differ at different levels of education. For example, in elementary school, students wear blue uniforms. In middle and high school, boys wear dark gray pants, white or blue shirts, jackets, and ties. Girls wear skirts and shirts the same color as boys, and also ties. Most private schools have introduced their own school uniforms.
In schools of Muslim countries, a headscarf is a mandatory attribute of a female school uniform. When girls turn 12, they wear a hijab. However, even up to the age of 12, starting from the first grade, they wear school uniforms, which are also Muslim clothing and are in many ways similar to the hijab.
In Myanmar, younger boys wear pants and older boys wear long skirts.
Laos women's school uniform is distinguished by a beautiful long wrap skirt and original ornaments.
In Japan, 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 a Japanese schoolgirl's wardrobe - knee-highs or socks. A large bag or briefcase is usually attached to the form. Primary school students usually dress in normal children's clothing.

In the USA and Canada, there are school uniforms in many private schools. There is no uniform uniform in public schools, although some schools have a 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 "clothing code", that is, a system of identification marks, color combinations and shapes that indicate a person's belonging to a particular corporation. The employer can set his own rules: for example, women cannot come to work in trousers, or - they can only wear business suits, or skirts must be up to the knee - neither shorter nor longer, free form on Fridays, etc. etc. Many adult Russians have already embraced the corporate spirit, but their children still go to school “in just about anything”.

“- Children should learn from childhood that a suit is more than just clothes. It is a means of communication. How you look depends on how others will communicate with you, - says fashion designer Vyacheslav Zaitsev. Perhaps a school dress code can be of great service to boost your self-esteem, as it allows you to dress stylishly, albeit strictly. "

It serves as a reflection of the country's cultural traditions. Therefore, it is not surprising that the clothes of schoolchildren in different countries are so different.

1. The school uniform in England is the most orthodox

The style of the British school uniform is classic. It's simple and prim: high school students must wear Western-style orthodox school uniforms.

The Japanese school uniform for boys is in a classic dark color with a stand-up collar and looks like Chinese tunics.

4. School uniforms in Thailand are the sexiest

All students in Thailand are required to wear school uniforms from elementary school to college. As a rule, this is the classic "light top - dark bottom".

9. School uniforms in the United States are the freest

10. School uniforms in China are the most athletic

School uniforms in most schools in China differ only in size. Moreover, there are almost no differences between the uniforms of boys and girls - they wear loose tracksuits.

Today it is difficult to imagine even one school where students would be allowed to come to classes in ordinary clothes. Any educational institution strives to accustom children to strict discipline, and school uniforms are the best helper for this.

In some countries, a school uniform is not just clothes, but a whole reflection of the cultural traditions of a particular state. In this regard, in many places it has common features and, of course, very noticeable and interesting differences.

History of creation

The school uniform in England as an official dress code appeared under King Henry VIII. The uniform of the military was taken as a basis. Initially, it was just a long cloak-coat of an exceptionally dark blue color. This shade was chosen for a reason. First, it was believed that it was the dark blue tone that would teach children to be humble. Secondly, blue paint was the cheapest and most readily available at that time. Christ's Hospital became the first educational institution in the history of England, where a decision was made to introduce a school uniform.

Since the decree was issued in 1870 on free primary education for all children, the need for school uniforms in England increased dramatically. And after the Christ Hospital, all educational institutions in the country decided to introduce strict uniforms for their students.

Quite interesting is the fact that the school uniform was created specifically for the poor. After that, private educational institutions began to appear, considering her a special pride. They used special clothes not to equalize all students, but, on the contrary, to show their attitude towards more privileged strata of society. It was during this period that the uniform became a "feature" of elite schools.

But this is not the end of it. Many students, trying to look even better, began to button up their jackets with a certain number of buttons, put on school caps with a certain slope, lace up boots in a variety of ways that they only have enough imagination for, and carry bags over their shoulders or just by the handle.

School uniform in England: description

At that time, the form was trying to "adjust" to the age characteristics of the students. The costumes of the boys who studied in the elementary school consisted of mostly dark gray shorts and blazers (jackets). Knee-highs have always been worn with shorts. They were also gray. A shirt of the same color was always worn under the jacket. On holidays or some special events, students came in white. Regular long trousers were approved for teenagers. On their feet, the students wore classic black boots. With the onset of cold weather, each student put on a pullover shirt with a triangle cutout on the chest.

The school uniform for girls included a regular blouse, dress and apron. A little later, around the turn of the 20th century, girls began to wear sundress dresses.

English school uniforms continued to transform and change until the 1950s. It was during this period that reforms took place in the country, and secondary education became generally available. Then the idea was born to make one standard of strict dress for all educational institutions. So there was a division of the form into "summer" and "winter". In fact, it was noticeably larger for girls. Indeed, in the warm season, they wore simple dresses to study, and with the onset of cold weather they changed into warmed sundresses.

And, of course, the highlight of the English school uniform is the logo. All students proudly wore the insignia of their educational institution. Most often it was embroidered on a tie or jacket. Much less often it was placed on special uniform caps.

Features of England

England is a very conservative country. And she follows her traditions very closely. And the school uniform has become one of them. Therefore, to this day, each educational institution provides all its students with a form. And not only a suit, but also outerwear, as well as small details of the wardrobe: socks, a tie, and so on. Moreover, school uniforms in England are available in any size and are issued to each student completely free of charge.

One Elizabeth Garrett School in London has a very attractive tradition. There, any student can personally participate in the process of creating his future form. Of course, everything happens within a certain framework, but individual wishes will be taken into account.

England continues to abide by traditions and adhere to the established rules. Every self-respecting educational institution has a strict dress code. What it will be, the institution decides on its own, but based on established standards. In some cities in England, for example, the appearance of clothing still depends on the age of the students who wear it. The tradition of seasonal school uniforms for girls has also been preserved.

In the modern form, there is a much greater variety of colors. Now you don't have to go exclusively in dark and blue colors. It became allowed to use brighter shades. For example, red or burgundy. Girls can afford checked shirts, replacing them with regular blouses. And in addition to caps, school berets appeared.

Finally

The school uniform is really necessary in any educational institution. She teaches children to discipline and order. Also, with the help of it, you can exclude competition among students. After all, it would never occur to anyone to arrange a beauty contest where there are rules prescribing the wearing of a special school uniform.

that you discover this beauty. Thanks for the inspiration and the goosebumps.

On the question of whether a uniform school uniform is needed, one can argue to the point of hoarseness. Dress code advocates believe that it maintains classroom discipline and encourages cohesion and equality. And the parents do not have a headache, what to put on the child. Opponents argue that this approach to clothing kills individuality and has little effect on the learning process.

website suggests not to argue, but just to see what children in different countries of the world go to school in. Many options look quite stylish and practical, evaluate for yourself.

Japan

Japanese school uniform for girls "sira-fuku" occupies a special place in anime cartoons and manga comics and is known all over the world. A nautical blouse plus a pleated skirt that gets shorter in high school. Low-heeled shoes and knee-highs are required, which are worn even in winter. To prevent them from slipping, schoolgirls glue them to their feet with special glue.

Great Britain

In England everything is strict with the school dress code... The very first uniform was blue. It was believed that this color teaches children to be organized and humble, but it was also the cheapest fabric. Now each institution has its own form and symbolism. Until now, in some schools, everything is so harsh that even in the heat it is forbidden to wear shorts. This summer the school boys went on strike and came in skirts. Since then, many schools have introduced gender neutral school uniforms.

Australia

Australia's education system has borrowed a lot from the UK. The school uniform is very much like the British, only lighter and more open. Due to the hot climate and active sun in many educational institutions, hats or panamas are included in the uniform.

Cuba

In Cuba, school uniforms are presented in several variations: white top - yellow bottom, blue top - blue bottom. As well as white shirts and burgundy sundresses or trousers with an obligatory element - a pioneer tie, well-known to Soviet schoolchildren. True, it can be not only red, but also blue.

Indonesia

In Indonesia, students' uniforms differ in color at each stage of study. The white top remains unchanged, but the bottom can be burgundy, dark blue or gray. But the most interesting is in store for the last. After passing the national exams, students celebrate their freedom and paint the shape with felt-tip pens and spray cans. Goodbye, school!

China

Chinese students have several sets of uniforms: for holidays and ordinary days, for winter and summer. The school uniform for everyday wear is almost the same for boys and girls and often resembles a regular tracksuit.

Ghana

All children in the state must wear school uniforms. At the same time, Ghana, like most African countries, is characterized by low incomes and high levels of poverty. Buying a school uniform is one of the barriers to getting an education. In 2010, the government distributed the form free of charge to localities as part of its education policy.

Vietnam

The dress code for junior and high school is quite common. But high school students in Vietnam have the right to wear snow-white national costume ao dai... In some educational institutions, it is welcomed only for important events or ceremonies, but in some it is required for everyday wear.

Syria

School uniforms in Syria even before the start of a protracted military conflict for political reasons has been changed from boring khaki to bright blue, gray and pink... And it symbolized the desire to establish peace in the Middle East, which is now a little sad to hear.

Butane

Another country where pupils go to school wear traditional national costume,- Bhutan. For girls, the clothes are called "kira", and for boys - "gho" and resemble a dressing gown. Previously, children wore all textbooks and school supplies right in it. Briefcases are already common now, but if you wish, you can hide something on your chest.
