School Uniform
School uniforms were first introduced in
England by Henry VIII and were called
“bluecoats” because of blue jackets.
Then the popularity of uniforms
increased and most schools had
them. The uniform was different
according to age, gender and even
season
(winter
and
summer
uniforms). Nowadays the government
in England tend to encourage the use
of uniforms as a means of discipline
and positive behaviour.
