People's Republic of Poland: School Uniform Garments


Figure 1.--Here we see a Polish primary schools in 1969. The children wear blue smocks with large white collars.

Our information before World War II is very limited. Poland before World War II had no national school uniform, but I believe many Polish school had their own individual uniforms. Soon after after the People's Republic of Poland, a kind of national school uniform was adopted for all students. Polish pupils were ruired to wear a protective smock or fartuszki (singular form: fartuszek) to protect the clothes the children wore to school. There was no required unifom clothing, only the fartuzki. All Children had to wear fartuszki in all Polish schools, both primary and secondary (lyceum) schools. This means Polish children wore fartusski from about 7-18 years of age. While fatuski were required, there wasn't any strict regulation about the pattern and stylistic details. As a result, the fartuski that the children wore in actuality differed significantly.
