We have limited informationn on Spanish schoolwear at this time and a relatively small archives of Spanish school photographs. As far as we call tell uniforms were not common at Spanish schools. We do not notice school uniforms in Spain even in the 1950s after World War II, even at private schools. We are less sure about the situation in modern Spanish schools.
We have no information about Spanish schools in the 19th century. We do know that the Catholic Church played a major role at Spanish schools in the 19th century.
We do not notice school uniforms in Spain even in the 1950s after World War II, even at private schools. The private school seen here is a good example of school wear in the 1950s. We are less sure about the situation in modern Spanish schools. Available information suggests that school smocks were very common in Spain. We do not know when Spanish school children began wearing smocks, but they seem to have been very common in the inter-war period of the 20th century. School smocks have declined in popularity after the 1960s, but are still worn at many schools--especially private schools. Here they take the form of school uniforms with required colors and styles. Franco died in 1976 and soon afterwards a new democratic government implement sweeping reforms in Spanish society and this included Spanish schools.
