Differing views on change of uniforms surfaced as a result of stocks failing to arrive on time for Stamford Primary School which recently changed its uniform design. While schools have the autonomy to decide on the change of design for school uniforms, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said that the decision should be "carefully thought through and the views of the school community and key stakeholders taken into consideration".
Post your comments on one or more of the following questions:
(1) What do you think warrants a change in the design of school uniforms?
(2) When do you think schools should change their uniforms? How frequently should / could this be done? State your reasons.
(3) What are other possible reasons for the negative responses to schools changing uniforms?
One of the points raised in the article is that buying new uniforms could be a huge burden for lower-income families.
Thinking for others...
- Besides providing needy students with uniforms, whether new or otherwise, what else could be done to help them?

3) The possible negative responses could be that the parents do not want to waste money to buy new school uniforms. Another reason is that it wastes resources.

(2)NEVER the school uniforms come with historys from the past/ low-income families cannot afford it.
(3)IT IS PART OF THE SCHOOL'S IDENTITY.
2)The school should change their uniform next year. I think every 10 years the school should change the uniform as every generation will have different types of new designs and the current design of the school uniform is quite old already.
3)Parents will think it is a waste of money as maybe some students have elder siblings that also studied in the same school as them and the elder siblings's uniform is still wearable for the child so they do not need to buy new uniforms.
thinking for others:
-We can provide them with free tansport.
2) I also forgot to include that we should change school uniforms evry sixteen years.

Q2:i think school should change their uniform when it is old.it should be changed every 20 yrs.
People don't like when their children is still in the school and they need to change their uniform. They need to discard the old one even though it can still be worn. Especially for those left with one 1 or 2 years in the school.
3. Some of the low-income family could not afford to buy a new uniform whereas the old uniform can still be worn.
Even those who are rich also would not like that sometimes because there will be no stalk and they have to collect the uniform later.
I think we need to change the uniform because it is very hard to wear and we need to buy at least 5 shirts and 3 blouse. It is also expensive unlike if we have a dual-use outfit and just wear a skirt that have shorts inside it.So we do not need to buy so many things.Especially the low-income family.
They could provide the needy student a school bag.
I think it is not good to change uniforms as it is a waste and it is not useful.Instead of doing that they could give free school bags that are not wasted and the needy can use it.
uniforms can be changed six times a year when primary six leave the school and new primary ones join the school.
most people think it i a burden for low income families. for wasting such money on uniforms they can use it on stationary items
they can provide free shoes,transport,food,books,school bags etc.
1) I do not want to change our uniforms into new uniform as it is a waste of a money.
2)Once in 10-15 years because we should not waste our money on uniforms.
(2)I think the school should change their school uniforms every 10 years because we could save more money.
2)I think schools should change the uniforms after 30 years.
3)It might be because the student's parents did not want to waste their hard earned money.
(2)I think they should change their uniforms when they become old and dirty.
(1)I think the uniforms were old and uncomfortable and some people might think it is time to change uniform.
1)I think they wanted the uniform to change because that uniform is to old and not comfortable to wear. I think our school also need to change the uniform even mordern.
(1) School should change their uniforms if it means more comfort for students and should not be pricey or hurt the school identity.(2) This should be done on 20 or 30 years.
(3) The negative response could be waste of money and resources.
(2)I think the uniform should be change every 5 year because they can save more money.
(3)Waste of money
(2) It should be changed because of the disigns which the students do not like and we prefer shirt and skirt so that ist is long and comfortable for the pupils in CCPS.
And of course we need the coloured to be changed.
2) once in every 15 years ,it is not really necessary because it is a waste of money,material & effort
(2)I think they should change their uniforms every 10 years because we should not waste our parents money
(2)once in every 10 years because we should not waste money on uniforms
(3) the waste of money,resoures and energy
[2]i think they should cange their uniforms every 6 years beacause do not need to waste money.
(1)i think they should not change because they might not like the texture,the colour,not comfortable and the primary 6 girls have been wearing the old uniform for 6 years.So,wearing a new design and colour of the uniform,we'll not be comfortable for the studentsas the weather is hot as well.
(2)I think every 6-10 years
(3)Maybe the parents were ex-students of Stamford primary,don't like the old uniform as they wore it for a longer time and would disagree with the change of uniform.
1)The school should not always change the design of the uniform as the parents will have to always pay for the uniform
2)They cant always change the uniform.i suggest the school to change the uniform every 20years so that the parents dont need to always pay for the uniform changes.
They provide needy students with textbooks,uniform and breakfast coupon.
(2)I think schools should change their uniforms when they are old.Schools should change their uniforms from 5 to 10 years.
(3)The increse of cost while other parents who dont have much money are wasting their money to buy school clothes.
(1)singapore is a really warm the countery and if people wear such thick clothes,they will swaet a lot
I think they should change after30 years to save money.
2)i think it is very old and wore for a long time it should be change in three years a time.
3)i think other response are the parent don't want to waste their money and you still have one uniform
Thinking for others:
they can provide them coupons for food,stationary,textbook and subsidy the school fees and school shoes for the needy students.
2] i think it is very old and wore for a long time it should be change in three years a time
3]its waste money and resources to buy new uniforms
4] they can provide coupons stationary and school fees .
They should change their uniform every 10 years so that they can save more money.
they should change their uniform every 20 years
Sometimes there are also negative things in wearing a school unfirorm. I personally think that sometimes, the way we express ourself is different. We have to express ourself differently when were in a uniform because manny people express through their clothing if they dont like to speak out.
Secondly, its about the cost. If we have to buy uniforms, it will be a waste of money!
If you wear uniforms, the teachers cant differentiate youuu!
it is very fair to the poor people.
1. I think i do not agree changing uniforms, because we will waste our money, resourses and energy. If the school really want to change, i hope they will change in a shirt and a skirt and a shorts, because it makes it more comfortable in our hot weather. I think it should be change 20 years at a time.
2. I think it is not good for the low-income family. because they need the money for a better purposes. We should not waste our money any way we want.
maybe we should change our uniform many many years later. as for the low-income people might have the money to buy the uniform.
changing uniform is bad because it is not fair people because for some parentthe uniform will be out of stock when their child will wear the old uniform and it will not be fair for their children
maybe we shold change our uniform many years later .As for low-income peoplemight have no money
