State-level launch of ‘Ore Swathanthryam, Ore Sameepanam’ initiative on Wednesday
The concept of gender neutral uniforms in schools is being extended to the higher secondary section too in the State, with the Plus One students of Government Higher Secondary School for Girls, Balussery, Kozhikode, joining the bandwagon.
The higher secondary section of the school is open to both girls and boys though the name of the institution may give another impression. It was the Valayanchirangara Government Lower Primary School near Perumbavoor in Ernakulam district that launched a unisex uniform for the first time in the State. The students wear three-fourth shorts and shirts to the school.
R. Indu, principal of the Balussery school, said the proposal to have a gender neutral uniform for the Plus One classes came from the students in Plus Two classes. It was discussed in the staff council and parent-teacher association meetings and approved. The students have already started wearing shirts and trousers.
