They are now starting to focus and doing their work as one of the important role(s) in our country. Sharing their opinions and plans about how they will change this country for the better and one of these plans and needed to put their time to is the Future of the Youth in this Country.
One of the most Problems of the Parents is the Uniforms of their children to go in their school. Now, The Question right now is
Is wearing school uniform in the School is REALLY a mandatory or Not?
According to what she said,
"Even in the Pandemic, it is not a strict requirement for Public Schools to wear uniforms."
It is true because during the time that the Pandemic was started, the Students are not wearing their School Uniforms--Always. Just when they needed to for their video assignments, projects, tasks, activities and online studying because they are more on answering modules.
(DepEd order no.065, s. 201o)
to avoid incurring additional costs to the Families of our learners. All the more that it will required this school year given the increasing prices and economic losses due to the pandemic.
My own Understanding about this:
For me, This plan and solution is just right. Because we all know that NOT all of the Parents in our country are can afford to buy some uniforms or provide their Children needs to attend in the School. As you can see, there is a higher percentage of Children around the world (and one of them is from our country) who are not studying and can't go in the school because of the reason that, they can't afford buying what are needed to study: School Supplies, Allowances, Fare to go in the Scholl, Budget for Projects, activities, Assignments, Etc. And one of them is the School Uniform.
This Plan or Solution is a good opportunity
To Prevent this problem of ours; of many children who can't study.
It is such a good news that it is not Mandatory to wear School Uniforms 'coz, With this, they can able to give a chance those children who can't afford it to go/able to study without worrying about their School Uniforms.
Especially that this time, our situation right now is still not that good as goods and other things that we needed for our everyday prices are still rising.
Well, Many Parents can't agree to this and I understand them. However, based on my understanding. They didn't said that, School Uniforms will be never longer wear it.
If you can afford buying School uniforms for your children, you can still wear it. But to those who can't afford it, it's okay to attend in the School even though, they didn't wear School Uniforms.
But what I worried about is,
Though they can able to go in the School without wearing School Uniforms, I am worried that:
Not all of the children will follow the rules and regulations. I mean, nowadays, there are some civilian clothes that it is very inaapropiate in the School (Ex: Crop tops) and I am worried that they might use/wear it in the School.
Another thing is, you know the System in this country right now and it is hard for us to turn them back. What I am referring to is their manners. If how they wear clothes,
Not all of the youth nowadays are have some good manners just because the Uniform coding changed they will able to do whatever they wants as if they are the boss.
Conclusion...
With this, I know already that there will be pros and cons. Sure, it is a good idea but there are still some problems that needed to fix. But it will fix if the people will listen and cooperate to this solution in our Country.
They are finding a solution for the Children who can't study and at the same time, the Government are worried to the budget of the Parents just so they can make their Children's Future secured by Studying especially in this kind of situation right now.
Do you feel How hard for us to survive now? Because of the pandemic and the goods prices rise a lot. We can't bare to find a solution where to get some money that even though we worked hard for 2x, 3x, 4x and more, it's still not enough because it.
Now as a Parent, Student, youth. What can you say about this?

I am a teacher, but I'm 50/50 with this idea, why? Because personally I know how hard was life now, and not everyone can afford and wear a school uniform, and because my students are Aetas who are located in remote areas and they are not capable to buy some uniform talaga. But for the reason na iba kasi ang impact kapag naka-uniform, like it's another thing used for motivations sa mga students, na they can feel that they are students and they wore a uniform that symbolizes not just their personality as a person but the school that they are in.
