The Ministry of Education supports schools in their strive to instill uniformity in school.
In that regard, all schools may recommend traders, which supply uniforms, school stationery and other educational materials, which usually appear on their kit list.
It must be noted that schools are institutions, which have rules that bind the school: its staff and students.
Therefore, there has to be consistency and uniformity in what every child in a school needs to have.
For instance, school uniforms, if sown by different traders, would result in different patterned uniforms, even to the extent where some might use a different of shade of the recommended colour.
Thus, this defeats the whole purpose of wearing a particular school’s uniform.
Finally, the Ministry hopes that all parents will abide by schools’ preferred traders as this not only lightens their burden in search of uniforms and school supplies, but more importantly, it is one way of maintaining standards in schools.
