Printable Paper Dolls: School Uniforms Around the World

The practice of wearing uniforms to school is common in many parts of the world. In many countries, there is an ongoing discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of wearing school uniforms. In theory, school uniforms promote social equality as well as a sense of unity among students. At the same time, they are criticized for taking a certain independence and freedom of self-expression away from students.

The debate aside, school uniforms are a familiar part of many students’ everyday routine. While the routine may often look the same—get up, get dressed, go to school—the uniforms certainly don’t! From traditional clothes in Bhutan to sport suits in China, from white dust smocks in Uruguay to sailor suits in Japan — school uniform reflect the amazing diversity of culture around the world.
