Not all South African schools of course require uniforms, especially at the primary level. This has varied over time. Early public primary schools did not require uniforms. We think the uniform public schools began after World war II as they did in England. Thus the garment worn are somwwhat affected by the chronology. Many schools do not require uniforms. We do not yet know how common this is. The garments worn at public dchools without unioforms of course are more varied than at the uniforms. These schools do, however, have dress codes which limit ths the range of options somewhat. At the schools without uniforms, school wear reflects popular fashions, although some parents may choose basic school uniform items. Overall, the clothing worn at the non-uniform schools tends to be more informal. We also see many children at these schools to come to school barefoot. You do not see ties, kneesocks, or leather shoes at these schools. Even collared shirts are less common at these schools.
