An increasing number of public schools have adopted a dress code. Dress codes generate a number of benefits, which should not be overlooked:
- It discourages trespassers on school grounds
- It can reduce obvious socio-economic disparity amongst students
- It fosters a strong sense of belonging and school spirit
- It sets a high standard for neatness and self-discipline
- It encourages the student to focus on developing their own inner self in areas such as personality, behaviour, academic achievement, communication and other inter-personal skills.
