Scottish pupils could be told to wear gender-neutral uniforms 'to cut costs for parents' and to 'promote equality in the classroom.'
The Scottish Government has launched a consultation on school uniform fees, with a view to reducing costs.
"However, the cost can be a significant burden for families, although there is no legal requirement to wear uniform."Now we intend to go further by bringing forward national guidance aimed at reducing uniform costs. This could mean increasing the use of generic items of uniform. Scottish Green education spokesman Ross Greer said the guidance could also improve classroom equality, including "removing unnecessary rules around what each gender should wear."
He added: "School uniforms often place huge costs on families due to overly specific policies and too few suppliers, particularly at high school level.
