“Eat well, dress practically” – this old saying still holds value. However, in today’s integrated world, “dressing practically” is not enough; we also need to “dress well,” “dress comfortably,” and “dress with personality.” So, how can we modernize schools and reform school uniforms to align with Vietnamese culture while keeping up with global trends? Let’s explore this in the article below!
Reforming School Uniforms: A Modern Necessity
Wearing uniforms to school has become a familiar cultural aspect for Vietnamese students. However, many argue that current uniforms have shortcomings, such as rigid designs, uncomfortable materials, and a failure to express the individuality of each student. Therefore, reforming school uniforms is a necessary demand of our time.
Listening to Students’ and Parents’ Voices
Before making any changes, listening to the opinions of students and parents is crucial. Mr. Nguyen Van A, an education expert in Hanoi and author of “Modern Education,” believes: “Uniform reform is not just about changing clothes, but also about listening to, understanding, and respecting students’ voices.” Organize discussions and surveys to understand their needs and desires.
Diversifying Uniforms: Flexible Choices
One new direction is diversifying uniforms. In addition to traditional uniforms, schools can design other clothing options such as t-shirts, jackets, and skirts, with various styles and colors suitable for different activities. For example, Chu Van An High School in Hanoi has allowed students to wear Ao Dai (traditional long dress) on special occasions, creating a beautiful traditional touch.
Balancing Individuality and Regulations
Allowing students to express their personality through clothing is essential. However, clear regulations are needed to avoid abuse and inappropriate attire. Ms. Pham Thi B, a teacher at Nguyen Hue Chi Secondary School in Ho Chi Minh City, shared: “We need to find a balance between individuality and regulations, helping students freely express themselves while maintaining the seriousness of the school environment.”
Spirituality and Clothing: Cultural Beauty
Vietnamese people always value spirituality. The choice of colors and clothing styles should also align with culture and traditions. For example, red is considered a lucky color and is often used during holidays and Tet (Lunar New Year).
Modernizing Schools: A Journey Beyond Uniforms
Modernizing schools and reforming uniforms is not a one-day task. It requires effort, persistence, and dedication from schools, parents, and students. Let’s work together to build a modern educational environment where students can develop comprehensively in both intellect and spirit.
