The only African country we have found so far where the children wear school smocks is Madgascar. This was of course a French colony. Our information on Africa is liimited. There may be more countries with smock uniforms, but Madagascar is the only country we have found so far. Actually we only have images from two schools. Or Malagasy achive is very small. We do not know if many other Malagasy schools wore this or similar uniforms. The other image we have from 1971 shows children at an Anglican private school wearing a shorter and plainer smock. The photo here depicts the pupils attending a primary school in Mandriambero, a suburb of the capital Antananarivo (figure 1). The class is quite large. All the pupils are wearing green checkered smocks, the styling a little different for boys and girls. Most of the childtrn come to school barefoot.
