By: Allyn Villahermosa According to Bill Clinton, a uniform means a set of standard clothing worn by members of an organization while participating in that organization’s activity. It promotes discipline, self-belongingness, and even the feeling of equality to every student who chooses to wear their accredited organizational/school uniform.
Enlisted in the PHINMA EDUCATION NETWORK (PEN) Table of Offenses and Disciplinary Actions, under the column of security and public order: Improper or indecent attire such as tattered pants, sandals, slippers; non wearing of school uniforms and IDs; wearing on earrings and long hair among male students are prohibited inside the grounds of PHINMA—University of Pangasinan. Hence, wearing of prescribed uniforms is a must among the students. However, on the other side of the pond, educators in England are looking at de-uniforming the schools there. Currently, over 90 percent of the students wear jackets, ties and kilts. Although the change in thought about uniforms had originally been based on freedom of expression, those headmasters in England contend uniforms simply do not make the schools better in any way and that uniforms do not create higher achieving students. Ironically speaking, students nowadays tend to contemplate about the essence of wearing uniforms whereas it can never contribute to their thinking and their academic performances. College students usually argue on this matter because individually speaking, it compasses their “freedom” and their “choice of fashion”. Mentors on the other hand, believe that people wearing uniform are more caring for their fellows and colleagues; they care not only for their growth but the growth of their peers as well. According to Tracey Marinelli, uniforms are very important and foster traits which are very necessary for a person as an individual and an organization as a whole to thrive and prosper.
