    "content": "other hand, have also tried to make their trousers tubed or very tight. This brings some negativity. When it is standardised, at least, they will have the right sizes, lengths and colours. I am supporting this Motion. As we do this, we will also have to remember that some students may not even afford those uniforms and they may not go to school. If the prices go down, I am sure education will be an equaliser. With that, I support. May that policy come very fast. Students and parents will be on the safe side. At some point, we will also have to look at the full-dress code. Some schools have girls in long hair, others have very short hair, and others no hair at all. I do not know what we can do so that others do not feel intimidated and inferior. If I may also add, uniform is important. As we look at uniform, let us also remember the design and even the weather. Some places are very cold. If they are cold, students will have jumpers and their warm uniforms. Some places like the northern part of the country may not need this. As we standardise, let us also look into that. With that, I support the Motion and say that unity is key for students to concentrate on their studies. It will also teach them some professionalism. They will look very smart and know from an early age that this is how to go about it. It will also ensure safety of students wherever they are outside there. When they have uniform, students will be safer. The importance of standardisation also is that it eases peer pressure. Some students will feel low or inferior, while others might feel better because they come from this or that school. For all those reasons, including economic reasons, standardising uniform is very important. Not forgetting the sense of belongingness where students will feel they belong to that category, a school and a country. Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
