"content": "We know very well that in rural areas, especially constituencies, we have all manner of uniforms that are worn by students. We know very well that school uniforms do not distinguish pupils whether they are from a rich or poor background. There are schools that are considered to be elite and poor in my constituency. However, when they are together and each school has its uniform, no distinction whatsoever can be made between one school and the other. What matters then is the results of every competition, including academic or sports competition. As we debate this Motion, I urge the House to pass it, so that the Government can go to the drawing board and get us working with uniforms that are standardised, especially in terms of prices. We discussed about Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) yesterday. We have Grade Seven in place. One complaint we are receiving from the schools is the exorbitant price of uniforms. This must be looked into."
