The government said ways of reducing the costs of the uniform could include stipulating basic items and colours but not styles, which would mean that clothing could be bought from different shops.
A consultation was launched last autumn following the summer heat wave, in which some parents claimed that uniform policies were too strict. Education Minister Kirsty Williams said it was"signalled a significant time ago what the Welsh Government intended to do". Ms Williams added that parents will be able to make formal complaints to schools if they feel that the guidelines have not been taken into account.
God I hate the UK
In 20 years time these same people will be asking for gender identification because life is just to confusing to guess.
This normally means awful fitting clothes.
This is THE most important issue for schools in Wales? Not the fact that a quarter of them are fat bastards with sick notes from home so they don’t have to do the pathetic amount of PE that’s still offered?
Gender = how society defines the distinction between men and women. Sex = your biological identity. No one is born with gender chromosomes. It’s really not difficult.
Let’s emasculate boys before they can become men
Get a grip . Males are males and females are female .
What is a gender neutral uniform?
Oh fucking behave . Male and female. One or the other . Weirdos
Cheaper absolutely,
Gender neutral. What is wrong with boys or girls?
Going too far
Amazing how many armchair biologists twitter has 😮 Clearly don’t understand that, because ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ are used together a lot, the two words aren’t interchangeable. Also, terrible click bait
There’s a hilarious number of conservative idiots replying to this without reading the article. You’d wonder how anyone could complain about less strict uniform requirements, more freedom for kids, and lower cost for parents. They see the term “gender neutral” and have a stroke.
There is two genders.
What classes as gender neutral.
OMG
Once upon a time you carried your books in your school bag....
So, you are telling girls what they must wear?
Does it matter will they not be covered up by a raincoat
Well I hope in summer they can all wear skirts when it’s too hot for trousers?
If a school wants kids to wear uniforms, they should supply them. Christ even my local take away gives its staff a uniform.
😡😡😡😡 let kids be kids ffs
Why not remove names and give kids a number.
All school uniforms should be cheaper and gender neutral
Nope. You dress your child in whatever you choose and I’ll do the same ✋🏼 Enough
So sad and what a waste of energy !
Doesn't it count as animal cruelty if you put a sheep in a school uniform?
Beyond ridiculous
The chairman/person has decreed.
Looks like the politically correct tree huggers have infected wales now. What a fuss about nothing. And is this really news worthy. Must be a slow Brexit news day at the BBC. No Boris bashing on this report anyway.
In the book 1984 everyone had to wear the same blue overalls. No matter what your sex was.
spend less money on smart phones.
Gender neutral!
Why don't we just make every child gender neutral and end society as we know it. We can just become an androgynous mob of militant vegans to complete the farce of modern life
While the people in charge of schools are concentrating on these silly issues, countries like China, Vietnam and South Korea etc continue to increase their education standards to levels never reached before! We will no longer be able to complete.
I suppose Barbie has a penis now.
About time.why 1 or 2 shops have the monopoly and charge the earth is wrong. Get a school badge and sew it on any jumper/blazer or glad my children have left now
Oh piss off please.
Nonsense all the time
More bullinging by the PC social engineering brigade.......
Gender neutral Jesus give me strength! Who are these people making these decisions really who signed this off? So they will no longer be known as school boys or girls? What instead gender fluid pupils? Ridiculous country is being overrun with Loons!
Schools should perhaps adopt the Chinese neutral style of school uniform, the shell suit look!
Wouldn't it just be simpler to just allow either skirts, trousers or shorts and let them choose which one they want to wear? A skirt on a boy would look a bit odd though😳
This absolutely is ridiculous, and should not be brought into schools, let people grow up how they want to.
Why, who agreed to deny reality?
No more schoolboys No more schoolgirls. “Hello” to the Ho Chi Min suit🤡
You mean like. A boy or a girl. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wool?
The push for “gender neutral” is a recent trendy fad stirred up by liberal elitists. Let children be children and stop using them to promote your agendas.
How much cheaper do people want? Go into any supermarket nowadays and get skirts and trousers for under a fiver and 3 tops for the same! Less than a round of drinks 🤔
So forcing girls who want to wear skirts to wear trousers they don’t feel comfortable in is fair We have gone so left wing there’s no common sense anymore
Claptrap
My god it’s unbelievable. Shoot me now!!
Bloody ridiculous
If this is all some people have to worry about then you are living an extremely sheltered life.
Common sense should prevail.
Cobblers!
Good
About time.
School uniform ? No such thing over here.
'Julie Ann Richards' daughter is a pupil at Ysgol Gyfun Garth Olwg in Rhondda Cynon Taff.' Will the name of that school be printed on the uniform?
welsh moving in the right direction-hope the day will come when this sort of thing won't be needed-this was the hope back in the day for the future-now the futures arrived we seem to be back in the day.
Aren’t they supposed to be protecting people with mental illness not putting them in the crosshairs.....
Compulsory trousers for girls then !!!!!! Bit dictatorship is it not !!!
Surely the point is there should be choice, rather than 'one style fits all'
There was a time when boys and girls were different. It appears those days are long gone.
So they're making girls wear boys clothes what is the girls want to wear a skirt and the boys want to wear a skirt
Holding the children to ridicule.
Don't they want girls to look like girls any more. God I to feel sorry for the 98% straight people. It's a little like school inclusion rather than exclude the idiots stopping the majority 95% getting the education they want. Help teachers don't hinder them.
Communist state policy?
What a load of tosh!!!
Pants and trousers for everybody. Bra for the boys. Everybody snail
As if the world needs anymore of this nonsense.
Gender neutral children! It's like this generation isn't f**led up enough.
Oh ffs
One colour, one style for all
What is the rationale behind having gender neutral uniforms?
People can't get over gender huh? West has turned into self righteous with no deeper understanding and logic into the subject
Just what is a gender neutral uniform. Half trouser and half skirt?
Will everybody look like sheeps? 🐏
Good on you boyoh
Actually i agree, my kids went to private british school, education quality was very good, but they were annoyed about wearing skirts. They should be able to choose skirt or trousers.
Are you kidding me? A girl is a girl. A boy is a boy. This is absolute nonsense now. Kids have enough to worry about.
Progress!!🤗
Our school uniform policy is already gender neutral. I don’t understand the fuss 🤷🏻♀️
Stupidity at its best. Geez.
Children should not be taught to be ashamed of their gender. Cheaper yet, no uniforms.
Kilts then !
So basically all the girls will have to wear trousers now. Got it.
Are trousers not gender neutral already?
Why have uniforms in the first place?
Oh joy
