Wearing a school uniform is law. School uniforms are back

Among the variety of goods for school, the most significant purchase for a child is a school uniform. Parents have to decide a difficult question: a modern school uniform must meet all hygienic requirements, since the child spends a significant part of the day in these clothes, and at the same time be comfortable, beautiful and fashionable.

A student must have three types of uniform: casual, formal and sports. The general requirements for school uniforms in all educational institutions are approximately the same; this is a business style: light top - dark bottom. Parents themselves choose where to buy clothes for school based on their financial capabilities. Under no circumstances can the school insist on purchasing clothing of a certain style or manufacturer.

A school uniform for boys is classic trousers and a jacket, the color of which is prescribed by the school (usually gray or blue, less often green, burgundy, brown, black), a classic or knitted vest, shirt, jumper or turtleneck for the cold season.

Girls can come to school in a dress, sundress or skirt with a blouse. School trousers, knitted sweaters, sweaters, and turtlenecks in soft colors are also acceptable. The minimum set for boys is spare trousers for the uniform and two or three plain shirts, for girls - a spare skirt or dress, two or three plain blouses or turtlenecks.

Roskachestvo specialists have issued recommendations on choosing a school uniform. For the climatic conditions of the middle zone, a composition with a wool content of 40% - 60% plus synthetic fibers is considered optimal. There is no need to be afraid of synthetics in a fabric; in a certain amount it only improves its properties: the item becomes stronger, wrinkles less and fits better, and in the case of wool does not change its basic qualities. The optimal ratio is 70% natural and 30% synthetic materials.

Do not confuse synthetic fibers with artificial ones. Synthetic fibers are made primarily from petroleum products. For example, these are the well-known polyester, elastane and acrylic. But artificial fibers (such as viscose, for example) are produced from products of natural origin - from cellulose. Such fabrics are close in their properties to natural ones, they allow air to pass through well and are comfortable to the body.

When choosing trousers, pay attention not only to the composition of the top fabric, but also to the lining - it is better if it is made of viscose or cotton with the addition of synthetic fibers.

Hygienic requirements

Hygienic requirements for school uniforms are determined by the technical regulations of the Customs Union TR CU 007/2011 On the safety of products intended for children and adolescents and SanPiN 2.4.7/1.1.1286-03 Hygienic requirements for clothing for children, adolescents, adults, children's products and materials for products (products) in contact with human skin.

In accordance with TR CU 007/2011, according to their functional purpose, clothing is divided into products of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd layers. A school uniform is second-layer clothing and is subject to the following hygienic requirements: hygroscopicity - at least 10%. Air permeability is at least 100 dm 3 / m 2 s; for products made of flannel, cotton wool, lined (tufted) knitted fabrics and materials with polyurethane threads, at least 70 dm 3 / m 2 s is allowed.

Russian factories producing school uniforms comply with Sanitary Regulations and recommendations of Rospotrebnadzor. School clothes from Russian manufacturers are manufactured in accordance with the technical regulations of the Customs Union, and the requirements not only for the quality and composition of fabrics, but also for colors are met.

In the test reports of Roskachestvo, which are carried out annually at the beginning of the school year, trousers from the Russian brands Nasha Uniform, SINAR, Smena, Shaluny, BTC, as well as white shirts for boys Ostin and Silver Spoon, have proven themselves well.

School Uniform Law

Currently, the appearance of Russian schoolchildren is determined by Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ and letter of the Ministry of Education and Science No. DL-65/08 dated March 28, 2013 On establishing requirements for students’ clothing, which in everyday life is called the School Uniform Law. This law is designed to provide students with comfortable clothing, eliminate signs of social inequality and increase the prestige of modern education.

June 4, 2014 into law About education in the Russian Federation changes were made by the next Federal Law No. 148, which is called On amendments to the Federal Law on Education in the Russian Federation.

Additionally, the Ministry of Education and Science issued a Model Regulatory Legal Act of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation on establishing requirements for clothing for students in educational programs of primary general, basic general and secondary general education. The model act prescribes the secular nature of clothing for school and establishes three types of clothing for school: casual, dress (with a white blouse or shirt) and sportswear for physical education.

It is generally accepted that a school uniform for boys should consist of trousers, a shirt, a vest and a jacket. The ceremonial version is complemented by a white or light shirt and tie. The set for girls should consist of a skirt, trousers or sundress, blouse and jacket. The dress uniform includes a white or light blouse and a festive accessory.

By law, schools independently adopt a document, for example, the Regulations on School Uniforms, which set their own requirements for the general appearance, color, style, insignia and rules for wearing the uniform. This document should be adopted taking into account the opinions of students and their parents, whose interests should be represented by the student council and the parent council.

It happens that the school administration prescribes unacceptable requirements in the document. For example, it requires ordering clothes from a specific supplier - in this case, the school’s actions contradict Federal Law No. 135-FZ On protection of competition.

Also, the document should not contain a phrase that children are not allowed to go to school without a uniform. By expelling a child from class for lack of uniform, a teacher violates Federal Law No. 273-FZ, which guarantees universal access and free education to everyone.

If a school uniform regulation is adopted by a school in violation of the law, it can be appealed by contacting the school dispute resolution commission, a municipal or regional education authority, or Rosobrnadzor. As an option, you can write a statement to the prosecutor’s office or appeal the school’s decision in court.

Uniform disgrace, or How to protect your rights if you are unhappy with the school uniform

The beginning of the school year is always a busy time for parents of schoolchildren. Moreover, for the coming school year, some had to not only purchase traditional stationery and textbooks, but also provide the child with a school uniform.

The norm that gives schools the right to introduce school uniforms appeared in our legislation at the beginning of June of this year (Federal Law of June 4, 2014 No. 148-FZ “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”). To do this, it is necessary for the subject of the Russian Federation to approve standard requirements for school uniforms, which will apply in the territory of a particular region. By the way, a sample of such standard requirements (the so-called Model Act) was published by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science back in March (letter of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated March 28, 2013 No. DL-65/08 “On establishing requirements for students’ clothing”).

Many regions simply copied the provisions of the Model Act into their documents. True, some brought their own demands. For example, in the Saratov region and the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, students will not be able to come to school with extravagant haircuts and hairstyles, with brightly colored hair, visible piercings, provocative manicure and makeup. By the way, an interesting question arises whether the earrings that many teachers wear can be considered a piercing.

In some regions, schoolgirls were only allowed to paint their nails clear varnish and enjoy deodorant exclusively with a light and neutral odor. However, such demands are often regarded by the prosecutor’s office as an abuse of their rights by the authorities - for example, prosecutors in the Omsk region came to this conclusion in December 2013. The same applies to hairstyle requirements. In the same Omsk region, some schools required that boys and young men had their hair cut in a timely manner in a classic style. The prosecutor's office considered this demand illegal, apparently remembering how schoolchildren of the Soviet era were kicked out of classes for having overgrown hair. Similar requirements for hairstyle, haircut, color and length of hair, which were established by one of the schools in the Kaliningrad region, were also protested by prosecutors.

The final word on the introduction of school uniforms remains with the school itself, for this it must adopt the appropriate local act.

However, even if requirements for student clothing are introduced in a particular school, many parents still have questions. Some are dissatisfied with their new responsibility in general, others are wondering about compensation for its cost at the expense of the state, and some would like to dress the child in accordance with the religious beliefs of their family. Answers to some questions from a lawyer’s point of view are in our material.

Question 1. Is it possible to challenge a school’s decision to introduce a school uniform?

A school may require a student to wear a “suit” only if appropriate local act. (Part 1 of Article 38 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation”; hereinafter referred to as the Law on Education). For example, it may be called “Regulations on establishing requirements for students’ clothing” or simply “Regulations on school uniforms”.

Another thing is that this act must be adopted taking into account the opinions of students and their parents(their interests should be represented by the student council and the parent council). If the school has teachers' union or another representative body of its employees, then its position is also taken into account. Obviously, if parents are against the introduction of a school uniform, then they should document this and notify the school administration about it.

If the negative opinion of the parent committee about the school uniform is ignored, and clothing requirements are still established, then you can protect your rights in different ways:

Create a special dispute settlement commission, which will include an equal number of school representatives, students and their parents (Article 45 of the Education Law). The specific procedure for convening it should, again, be enshrined in a special regulatory act of the school. If consensus can be reached, the final decision of the commission becomes binding on all parties to the conflict. True, you can go further and appeal it in court.

File a complaint about the school's actions district education department(for example, the department of education of the regional administration) or in Rosobrnadzor. Alternatively, you can write a statement to prosecutor's office or appeal the school's decision judicially.

By the way, you can challenge the decision of the school administration not only if the opinion of the parents was ignored - but also when the local act of the school contradicts the education law or regional law.

For example, parents of students from the Arkhangelsk region can safely refuse to buy a uniform for their children if the decision to introduce it was made by the school later than three months before the start of the school year - such a condition is enshrined in the relevant law of the subject. And schoolchildren in grades 5-11 in the Bryansk region can safely wear jeans for the entire next school year, until September 1, 2015, since the relevant law will come into force for them only by this time.

Question 2. If a child comes to school without a uniform, is it possible to send him home to change?

The Education Law does not make the right to receive education dependent on how the child is dressed - but also does not contain a direct prohibition on removing a child from classes. Most often, regional regulations are also silent about permissible actions of school administration. Some regions oblige children to wear a school uniform (which, in general, is not entirely correct, since the school has the final say) - for example, the Bryansk region. However, the consequences of violating the clothing requirements are not fixed in the act of this region (Resolution of the Government of the Bryansk Region of November 11, 2013 No. 634-p).

Some schools interpret school uniform rules so strictly that Schoolgirls are prohibited from wearing trousers to classes. Such situations occurred, in particular, in schools in the Omsk and Nizhny Novgorod regions. For little Omsk residents, this ban looked especially strange if we remember the Siberian frosts, forcing the thermometer to drop below 30C.

In all cases, regional prosecutors protested such bans, emphasizing that classic women's trousers can be considered business attire.

But the Republic of Buryatia distinguished itself in this regard: the corresponding decree of the government of this region provides for a number of disciplinary measures for students who are not dressed in uniform. Among them are a remark from the class teacher (oral or in a diary), an explanatory conversation, a class hour, a parent meeting, and finally - restricting access to classes. The latter, however, is possible only in one case: if the student not only came to class without a uniform, but on his clothes there are images and inscriptions in any language that call for extremism, drug use, the use of weapons, or are offensive in nature.

We came across at least two regions in which teachers are expressly prohibited from kicking out schoolchildren without uniforms from classes– these are the Tambov and Yaroslavl regions. In the Yaroslavl region, the student must still be dressed in business clothes of a classic cut and neutral tones, even if not the same as the uniform.

It should be remembered that the prosecutor's office almost always takes the side of schoolchildren. For example, the rights of children who do not want to wear a school uniform have been repeatedly defended by prosecutors in the Kurgan and Kaliningrad regions and other regions.

Question 3. Is it possible to expel a child from school for not wearing a school uniform?

No. A student can be expelled from school only on the grounds set forth in Art. 61 of the Law on Education:

  • at the request of the student’s parents (or the student himself, if he is already an adult);
  • if the child cannot cope with the school curriculum and only if he is already 15 years old;
  • for objective reasons (for example, the liquidation of a school).
  • This list is closed, and there is no such reason as refusal to purchase a school uniform.

    Question 4. Who can receive compensation for the purchase of a school uniform and what needs to be done for this?

    Both the Model Act and regional laws prohibit making decisions on the introduction of school uniforms without taking into account the opinions of low-income and large families. In addition, constituent entities of the Russian Federation can compensate parents for the cost of purchased school uniforms(Part 3 of Article 38 of the Law on Education).

    Often in a region there is a special regulatory act on the procedure for allocating subsidies for the purchase of school uniforms, but the allocation of subsidies may also be provided for in a general law on supporting large families or low-income citizens.

    NOTA BENE

    « We place serious emphasis not only on improving the quality of the product, but also on the content. It is known that it is in childhood that morality, tastes, and preferences are formed.“- noted the Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Victor Evtukhov, introducing a new resource.

    The procedure for applying for a subsidy varies from region to region. Depending on the specific territory, you can apply for a subsidy either in district administration department, either in MFC, or directly to school by writing a statement addressed to the director.

    The set of necessary documents usually includes:

  • child's birth certificate;
  • parents' passport;
  • a certificate from the educational institution about the child’s education;
  • a document confirming the status of a large or low-income family;
  • application for the provision of services.
  • In addition, confirmation may be required that the child lives with the applicant: registration at the place of residence or another document (for example, a certificate from a children's clinic). If such a requirement is enshrined in the regional law, but the applicant has not fulfilled it, compensation is refused (decision of the St. Petersburg City Court dated December 17, 2012 No. 33-17228/2012).

    note that deadlines for filing an application for compensation cannot be set. An attempt was made to hurry up parents in some cities of the Moscow region: in Reutov, it was possible to submit documents to receive money from September 1 to October 31 of the current year, and in Dolgoprudny - until December 1 of the current school year. At the same time, the prosecutor's office in both cases declared such a restriction illegal.

    Question 5: Is it legal to demand that you buy school uniforms from a specific supplier?

    If we proceed from the literal interpretation of the legislation, then such a requirement of the school administration can be called unacceptable. The point is that we are talking about establishing requirements to clothes. In other words, the school may require that a child buy clothes of a certain color or style, but does not have the right to send parents to a store of a specific brand. Otherwise, the school’s actions will contradict the Federal Law of July 26, 2006 No. 135-FZ “On the Protection of Competition.”

    By the way, some subjects of the Russian Federation have even enshrined a ban on such actions in law - for example, in the Republic of Tatarstan, forcing parents to purchasing a form from a specific manufacturer or the supplier cannot, both school administration and teachers. A similar rule applies in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, only it is formulated even more strictly: you cannot only demand to dress from a specific manufacturer, but also establish specific requirements for clothing (model, article, material), observing which parents will be forced to buy clothes only from a certain brand.

    Even if the subject is register of school uniform suppliers, forcing students to dress in a specific “couture” uniform is unacceptable. By the way, the authorities of the Bryansk region obliged parents to order uniforms (including those for individual tailoring) only from sewing companies and individual entrepreneurs exclusively from this register - a very controversial obligation, in our opinion. Parents who disagree with this can rely on the fact that the education law and the Model Act do not provide for the possibility of regions establishing such a requirement.

    Moreover, if mothers wish, they can sew your own uniform, the education law and the Model Act do not prohibit this - the main thing is that it meets the standards set by the school.

    Question 6: Can I dress my child according to our family's religion?

    The model act in this part is quite categorical: schoolchildren must wear clothes exclusively secular character. Actually, the revival of school uniforms began with this question.

    Let us remember that the problem arose in 2013 in the Stavropol Territory: the administration of one of the schools prohibited girls from Muslim families from appearing in lessons wearing a hijab. The requirement for secular clothing, which the school referred to, was enshrined in a decree of the regional government. The parents of these schoolgirls were forced to transfer them to a Muslim madrasah school or to external studies. At the same time, they appealed the regional government’s decision in court, but to no avail. I put an end to this dispute last summer RF Armed Forces(Determination of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated July 10, 2013 No. 19-APG13-2).

    The court made three main conclusions:

  • uniform requirements for student clothing stem from the secular nature of our state;
  • Head coverings indoors (including the hijab) are the cause of various diseases, and school uniforms are the key to maintaining the health of students. Here the Court cited Rospotrebnadzor (Rospotrebnadzor letter dated November 9, 2012 No. 01/12662-12-23);
  • The ban on wearing the hijab does not violate the right to education.
  • ABROAD

    In 1994, following a protest organized by female students enrolled in obstetrics courses at the University School of Medicine [Istanbul University. – Ed.], the Vice-Rector issued a memorandum in which he explained the issue of wearing the Islamic hijab and the legal basis for the relevant instructions, noting in particular:

    “The ban on students enrolled in midwifery courses wearing the hijab during practical classes was not intended to violate their freedom of conscience and religion, but to comply with current legislation. When performing their work, midwives and nurses wear uniforms as described and prescribed in the instructions of the Ministry of Health. Students who want to work in this specialty know about this. Imagine a student midwife trying to put a baby in or out of an incubator, or assisting a doctor in an operating room or delivery room while wearing a long-sleeved coat."

    (ECtHR ruling of November 10, 2005 “Case of Leyla Sahin v. Turkey” (complaint No. 44774/98)).

    Applicants appeal to the ECHR was not ruled out with a complaint against this court decision. True, it is unlikely that the Strasbourg court would take their side, because in its practice there have already been similar cases, and decisions were made not in favor of the hijab (ECHR Ruling of November 10, 2005, “Case of Leyla Sahin v. Turkey” ( complaint No. 44774/98), judgment of the ECtHR of December 4, 2008 in the case of Dogru v. France (complaint No. 27058/05), judgment of the ECtHR of December 4, 2008 in the case of Kervanci v. France "(complaint No. 31645/04)). The ECtHR also confirmed the legality of the dismissal of one of the applicants, who worked as a teacher at a university in Turkey and wore a hijab to lectures and seminars (ECtHR Decision of January 24, 2006 in the case “Kurtulmus v. Turkey” (complaint No. 65500/01)).

    After this, the question about violations of the rights of believers was asked to the president at a meeting with representatives of the All-Russian Popular Front in October 2012. Vladimir Putin supported the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, noting that the requirements for the secular nature of clothing must be observed by everyone, otherwise representatives of other faiths will feel disadvantaged. It was then that the head of state suggested thinking about returning school uniforms. " Still, in such [ school . – Ed.] in teams, no one should feel like a second-class citizen.”“, the president emphasized then, hinting at the different financial capabilities of parents when buying clothes for their children.

    Some regions copy verbatim the provisions of the Model Act: “the appearance and clothing of students must be of a secular nature” (Krasnodar Territory). Other entities are even more specific, prohibiting children from wearing religious clothing or clothing with religious attributes, including those covering the face, to school (Rostov region). By the way, little Rostovites do not have the right to decorate themselves with attributes of religious symbols - pectoral crosses also fall under this ban.

    Law on the introduction of school uniforms of 2015

    Before putting together an urgent document, it would be right to think about dividing the process into 3 groups. The prepared sections do not have to be printed in the same order. Before doing anything, you should think about what exactly you want as a result, once you get it right, write down the reasons. These may be business customs, local rules, orders of government agencies. The beginning is a very fundamentally important section that forms the trail. You should also not forget and figure out which important person this petition document will be addressed to and who specifically will be forced to draw up a response.

    On September 1, 2015, the new law “On Education in the Russian Federation” comes into force. Among its innovations is the right of an educational organization to set requirements for students’ clothing.

    Thus, school uniforms are being introduced again at the legislative level in the country. Its appearance is determined by the need to erase property, social and religious differences between students, strengthen the image of educational institutions, and provide schoolchildren with aesthetic and comfortable clothing.

    Therefore, according to the text of the federal law, this rule is valid unless otherwise established by the legislation of the subject of the federation. For those regions in which the issue of school uniforms has not yet been resolved, it is necessary to adopt the appropriate legal act. The requirements for the new uniform for schoolchildren are contained in a sample law sent by the Ministry of Education and Science to the regions.

    The introduction of a uniform does not mean, however, that all students will be dressed the same. For each educational institution, the color, style, appearance of clothing and the obligation to wear it will be determined individually. Schools are recommended to adopt a special local regulatory act regulating uniform issues for students, taking into account the opinions of parents.

    Students' clothing must comply with sanitary, epidemiological and hygienic standards, the location of classes, the weather, and the temperature conditions of the room. Dress style is generally accepted business style. Uniforms for schoolchildren must be secular in nature. Clothing, shoes and accessories with traumatic accessories, informal symbols that promote illegal behavior and the use of psychoactive substances are unacceptable.

    The requirements for the form must be accepted by all participants in the educational process and take into account the financial situation of large and low-income families.

    Law on the introduction of school uniforms of 2015

    In many regions of the country this issue has already been regulated by law. For example, in the republics of Karelia and Tatarstan, in the Stavropol region, in the Belgorod region, Leningrad region, Moscow region, Omsk region, Orenburg region, Penza region, Rostov region, Saratov region, Ulyanovsk region, Yaroslavl region and in other subjects.

    What will be the uniform school uniform?

    General education organizations can establish three types of school clothing: formal, casual and sports. The dress uniform is intended for festive events and school functions. The dress uniform differs from the everyday uniform by the presence of a light shirt or a festive accessory for boys and young men, a blouse or a festive accessory for girls and young women.

    Sportswear is used for physical education. The uniform of each school may have its own distinctive signs in the form of emblems, stripes, badges, ties, and so on.

    A bill on introducing school uniforms has been introduced to the State Duma

    A bill on introducing school uniforms has been submitted to the State Duma. Its author was Olga Timofeeva, a deputy from the All-Russian Popular Front (United Russia faction).

    “We are introducing amendments to the law “On Education in the Russian Federation,” which will introduce school uniforms everywhere,” Timofeeva said in an interview with ITAR-TASS.

    However, according to her, “this is not an obligation, as it was before,” and regions will be given the opportunity to “establish uniform requirements for student clothing, taking into account local specifics, the wishes of schools, students and their parents.”

    The deputy also assured that the discussion of this issue will continue on the ONF platform, “and the results of the discussion with all interested parties will be taken into account when adopting the bill for the second reading.”

    The idea of ​​returning school uniforms was supported by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the first ONF conference in Rostov-on-Don at the end of March. “There should be a school uniform in our country,” said the head of state, proposing “to make federal decisions that would oblige the regions to introduce uniforms, and to give the regions and municipalities the opportunity to decide on the details.”

    According to the head of the organizing committee for the founding congress of the ONF, Andrei Bocharov, the introduction of school uniforms will bring not only a social, but also an economic effect. According to him, as a result of the introduction of school uniforms, the Russian light industry will be able to receive “orders” worth about 36 billion rubles annually.

    Deputies adopted a law on school uniforms

    The State Duma adopted in the second and third readings a law giving schools the right to set uniform requirements, taking into account the opinions of schoolchildren themselves and their parents. 1898

    Right-click and select "Copy Link"

    Requirements for the clothing of primary and secondary school students are established by the authorized bodies of the regions. Money for uniforms is allocated if it is provided for in the regional budget.

    Olga Timofeeva. member of the United Russia faction: “But no one has the right to force you to buy this or that clothes for a schoolchild in this or that studio. Starting today, the All-Russian Popular Front, which initiated this bill, begins monitoring. We appeal to all governors, to the heads of cities, to all parents: if you see excesses when children are forced to wear a specific school uniform and buy it from a specific manufacturer, react to this.”

    Wearing a school uniform became mandatory on September 1, 2013 (see the blog “And again about school uniforms”, “School uniforms are coming back”). In accordance with the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation”, the establishment of requirements for students’ clothing is within the competence of the educational organization, unless otherwise established by the Law or the legislation of the subject of the Russian Federation (Article 28, Part 3, Clause 18 ).

    The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation sent an instructional letter “On establishing requirements for the clothing of students,” to which was attached a “Model regulatory legal act of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation on establishing requirements for clothing for students in educational programs of primary general, basic general and secondary general education.”

    At the same time, prosecutorial checks indicate that when introducing school uniforms, violations of the law and the requirements of regulatory documents of the Ministry of Education and Science are allowed. For example, denial of access to classes, removal from lessons of students who did not come in the prescribed uniform, application of unlawful disciplinary measures against them, etc.

    Currently, the Federal Law of June 4, 2014 No. 148-FZ (hereinafter referred to as the Law) amended the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation”. In particular:

  • Clause 18 of Part 3 of Article 28 and Part 5 of Article 86 were declared invalid;
  • Article 38 is stated in the new wording.
  • According to the new version of Article 38, “organizations carrying out educational activities (hereinafter referred to as the organization) have the right to establish requirements for students’ clothing, including requirements for its general appearance, color, style, types of students’ clothing, insignia, and rules for wearing it, if “otherwise not established by this article.”

    State and municipal organizations carrying out educational activities in educational programs of primary general, basic general and secondary general education establish requirements for students’ clothing in accordance with standard requirements approved by authorized government bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

    In an educational organization, taking into account the opinion of the student council, the parent council, as well as the representative body of employees of this organization and (or) students in it (if there is one), it is accepted relevant local regulation.

    Providing students with clothing in cases and in the manner established by state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation can be carried out at the expense of budgetary allocations from the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

    It has been determined that samples and descriptions of uniforms of training organizations implementing, in particular, educational programs in specialties and areas of training in the field of defense and state security, ensuring law and order, in the areas of customs affairs, training of sailing crews of sea vessels, inland water navigation vessels , fishing fleet, aircraft flight crews, aviation personnel, are established by the founders. They also determine the rules of wearing, security, and insignia.
    The provision of uniforms and other clothing (uniforms) to students at the expense of regional budget allocations is carried out in cases and in the manner established by the state authorities of the constituent entities of the Federation. At the expense of local budgets - by local governments.

    School uniform 2017: you can’t wear a biker jacket to your desk, but you can wear a miniskirt!

    This summer, a good half of the capital's teenagers sported hair of all colors of the rainbow. I wouldn’t be surprised if the parrots in the Moscow Zoo were stifled with envy at the sight of the bright green, purple, pink and blue “plumage” of the teenagers.

    But summer, the time of freedom, is over, and a new school year is already inevitably looming on the horizon. And at school there is a uniform, or at worst a dress code.

    What should informal minors do now? Shave your head? Buy a wig? I talked with the directors of several schools in the capital and tried to figure out at what point a student who wants to emphasize his “unique individuality” will cross the red line.

    YOU WILL NOT BE KICKED FOR BRIGHT MAKEUP!

    Many Russian schools have already switched to uniforms, but most often only primary schoolchildren wear them.

    For older students, the requirements are softer: instead of uniform jackets and blouses, there is a dress code. What children should look like - checkered, black bottom - white top or something else - each school decides for itself. Therefore, each institution has its own regulation on the form, which contains the wishes of both teachers and parents, and the students themselves.

    The Ministry of Education and Science approaches this pressing issue carefully. Back in 2013, the department sent a letter to schools in which it proposed standard recommendations:

    “The appearance and clothing of schoolchildren must comply with generally accepted social norms of business style and be of a secular nature. The Ministry does not recommend wearing clothes, shoes and accessories at school with traumatic accessories, symbols of asocial informal youth associations, or those promoting psychoactive substances and illegal behavior.”

    That is, no emo, goths, punks and rastafarians - leave all individuality outside the school gates!

    But this is a theory - it is clear that children at school should be neat and well-groomed. What should teachers do when they see a riot of colors in the classroom? Teachers do not have the right to give bad marks and kick them out of lessons for their appearance. Send to the toilet to wash off bright makeup or go home to change clothes - even more so! For this you can get a reprimand from the director yourself. The only thing teachers can really do is reprimand the child and call the parents.

    “You can’t approach this issue with a saber in your hands,” says Vladimir Shcherban, director of school No. 1929. “Tastes change, and the standards that we like are simply incomprehensible to the younger generation.” Therefore, a tough authoritarian approach and pressure will cause nothing but resistance. My personal approach is education and understanding of where and what to come to. We have a regulation on school uniforms, but we do not require a school uniform, but a neat appearance. And, of course, we say that mass official events still require a business style.

    According to the director, at school meetings, students are not publicly reprimanded for their appearance - even those who have forgotten that the beach season is over. All conversations are individual.

    “These conversations are not edifying in nature; rather, they are needed simply for understanding,” Vladimir Nikolaevich clarifies. “If a pink strand has some kind of ideological connotation for a person, if he has an idea of ​​why it is needed, then there are no problems.” A person should have a childhood, he can try something in controlled conditions. But if it is empty, then it quickly “falls off”, and the person repaints without any extra pressure.​

    HIJABS AND GOLD CHAIN

    Four years have passed since the official return of uniforms to school. During this time, students more or less learned that it is better not to come to lessons in miniskirts and jeans with holes. But religious paraphernalia still causes controversy.

    “We talk to Orthodox parents and try to explain to them that school is a secular place,” the teachers shrug. “But if that doesn’t suit them, perhaps they should look for a private school that is closer to their customs?”

    At a higher level, this issue was recently discussed in Dagestan. Members of the People's Assembly of the Republic unanimously voted for the law “On the responsibility of parents for the education and upbringing of children.” It obliges parents to monitor how their children appear at school. Up to how much jewelry a schoolgirl can afford—maximum simple earrings. No triple gold chains or family rings! However, the law also does not provide for punishment for violators who come to school wearing diamonds.

    In other regions, schoolgirls wearing jewelry are limited only by considerations of personal safety. Technically, you can show up to class wearing all your grandmother’s diamonds and mother’s gold at once! But during physical education it will be uncomfortable in all this splendor, and there are no safes at school.

    AND AT THIS TIME

    And on the chest there is a tattoo “Knowledge is power!”

    Young people over the age of 18 can get a tattoo on their own and only upon presentation of a passport! Before this age, you can get a tattoo only in the presence of your parents. The fact is that according to the Civil Code, tattooing is classified as a small household transaction. And their citizen can conclude them himself from the age of 18, and from 14 to 18 - only with the consent of legal representatives.

    So the problem with tattooed schoolchildren is not just how they look in class. But also the fact that they could have gotten a tattoo in an unlicensed salon, and then they had to run to the doctor - you never know what kind of paints and tools there were!

    In general, the same rules apply with tattoos, henna designs and decals as with colored hair - teachers do not have the right to expel, suspend from lessons or give a bad grade for this. But the conversation with them and their parents will be serious.

    BY THE WAY

    Green hair will wash off on its own

    What to do if you have been expressing yourself culturally all summer and on the eve of Knowledge Day you discover that your head of hair is shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow?

    “Bright color doesn’t last long,” says Polina Agramyan, art director of one of the capital’s creative coloring salons. — Purple and pink shades fade in a week or two, blue and green shades are washed off in two or three. Red lasts longer, but quickly loses its brightness. I would advise you to just wait and wash off the paint with special deep cleaning shampoos and oil masks.

    There is no point in repainting it a normal color - the dye can appear in spots and the result will be something unimaginable! If teenagers want to show off their individuality, there are professional crayons and mascaras that can be washed off immediately. You can also buy extensions.

    OFFICIALLY

    How the decision on form is made

    The decision on the need for general requirements for appearance is made by the school’s governing council, which includes teachers and administration, parents and the students themselves. He proposes a draft decision on what children should wear to school.

    After this, in each class, meetings between uniform manufacturers and teachers, parents and students are held, at which it is discussed exactly how the children will be dressed - whether it will be a dress code, business style or a uniform. The final decision is made at a general meeting of the school, which is attended by teachers and parents of students from all classes.

    If one of the parents does not agree with the general decision, then they can dress the child to their liking, ignoring possible comments from teachers. Or suggest changes to the rules.

    Read how to do this in the next issues of KP.

    The school uniform is a special sign of distinction. It helps children feel the transition from games and walks to the space of apprenticeship and moderate school rigor. But sometimes the form raises questions and dissatisfaction. How to choose it? Can the school dictate its own requirements? What if a child wants to go to school in jeans and a Minion sweatshirt? In our article we will tell you what laws and rules stand behind school uniforms and how you can influence the choice of uniform for your child.

    Why did the country reintroduce compulsory school uniforms?

    In the new Russia, since the beginning of the 90s, there was no uniform: everyone went to school in whatever they wanted. But in 2012, the uniform became mandatory again - this rule is spelled out in the new law “On Education” dated December 29, 2012. Then another clarifying law was issued, and the Ministry of Education wrote a separate letter “On establishing requirements for students’ clothing.” After this, the regions adopted their own laws regarding the form: in the Sverdlovsk region this is Government Decree No. 14-04 PP dated November 20, 2013. So now Minion hoodies are practically banned in schools.

    Why were school uniforms introduced? The law answers this question simply and directly:

    To eliminate signs of property and other inequality between students;

    Free children from discomfort in communication;

    Help the school create its own image.

    What should a school uniform be by law?

    The law says: the uniform must be: 1) business, 2) secular. A business style should help children “get ready” and get ready to study. And the secular nature of the form emphasizes that school education is outside of religion. Actually, the law on uniforms appeared partly “thanks” to the 2011 scandal in southern Russia, when Muslim girls were banned from coming to school in hijabs, and they stopped attending classes.

    The uniform is divided into casual, formal and sports. Casual clothes for boys include classic-cut trousers, a jacket, vest, shirt and accessories (tie, belt). For girls - skirt, classic-cut trousers, jacket, vest, sundress, dress, blouse, accessories. To turn the uniform into a formal one, you need to complement it with a light shirt or a festive accessory - and voila! Sports uniform is not regulated; it should simply be comfortable and appropriate for the weather if classes are taking place outside.

    A heart-warming moment: in the cold season, you are allowed to wear a sweater, jumper or pullover - all in the same business style. There is one more requirement: clothing must comply with sanitary standards (SanPiN 2.4.7/1.11286-03), so when purchasing a uniform, ask for a certificate. As for the prohibitions: you cannot wear a hat indoors during classes (except for workshops and home economics classrooms), and clothing and accessories with the symbols of “asocial informal youth associations that promote psychoactive substances and illegal behavior” are also prohibited. And if your offspring comes to class wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a hemp leaf or a Satanic pentagram, expect trouble.

    How a school chooses its own uniform

    The law allows schools to choose uniforms with distinctive symbols: this can be their own uniform style, the color and style of vests and sundresses, familiar green or red-brown checkered fabric and school emblems. The school must specify the choice of uniform in the Charter and publish the school uniform regulations on its website. For example, like this. And, of course, the school Regulations should not contradict higher-level documents: the Regulations of the Sverdlovsk Region, the letter of the Ministry of Education and the Federal Law “On Education”.

    Who influences the choice of uniform in one particular school? Everyone influences: administration, parents and students. The decision must be made collectively: by the school administration, the parent council and the student council (if the school has one). This usually happens at a special meeting, where important issues about the distribution of funds, food in the canteen, and paid services are resolved. The question of the form is discussed, put to a vote, minutes are taken, then the minutes are signed by those present. It follows from this: if you are dissatisfied with the choice of school uniform, which is prescribed in the Charter, and want to change something, knock on the parent council and ask for a review of the situation.

    What will happen to a student for failure to comply with clothing requirements?

    The laws and the school Charter stipulate rules regarding school uniforms. However, it is important to remember this: at the same time, the law does not stipulate responsibility and punishment for violating these rules. This means that a student cannot be kicked out of class for an informal appearance, forced to change clothes, or punished in any other way. Moreover, such actions are a violation of the student’s rights, so be alert and protect your rights if something unpleasant happens.

    School administrations do not have legal leverage over “formless” children, so they can only appeal to the consciousness of students and their parents. Or, as is, unfortunately, our traditional custom, it is illegal to intimidate and put pressure on a family. To avoid pressure and unnecessary conversations with the administration, it is important to comply with the main requirements of the law: wear clothes in a strict business style, avoid ripped jeans, open navels and colorful blouses.

    How is the issue of purchasing uniforms resolved?

    In the Sverdlovsk region, no money is allocated for the purchase of school uniforms - the costs fall on the family. The law stipulates that the school must choose a uniform taking into account the opinions of large and low-income families, so if the cost of a vest or sundress seems too high to you, you should be heard.

    Schools often sew their uniforms centrally from a specific manufacturer. For some parents, this is convenient: you just need to bring your child to have his measurements taken and then pick up the kit. Other parents are unhappy with the quality of the fabric or the tightness of the knit for school vests. In this case, you can either promote your uniform option to the whole class, or “get out of the game” and choose school clothes at your discretion. Just try to stay within the chosen color and style. Manufacturers offer many shape options; you will definitely be able to find a similar shape of satisfactory quality. The downside of this situation: you may have to explain yourself to the teacher and administration. But remember that the law is on your side, and competently defend your decision. And most importantly, teach your child to calmly and politely explain to the teacher that his vest or sundress complies with the requirements of the law.

    We hope that by the new school year, your son or daughter will receive comfortable and beautiful uniforms, and will be happy to look at themselves in the mirror when going to school on September 1!

    Due to the increasing number of complaints regarding school uniforms, we are publishing clarifications on this issue.

    "Education Law" on school uniforms.

    On September 1, 2013, the new law “On Education in the Russian Federation” came into force. Among its innovations is the right of an educational organization to set requirements for students’ clothing.

    Thus, school uniforms are being introduced again at the legislative level in the country. Its appearance is determined by the need to erase property, social and religious differences between students, strengthen the image of educational institutions, and provide schoolchildren with aesthetic and comfortable clothing. Therefore, according to the text of the federal law, this rule is valid unless otherwise established by the legislation of the subject of the federation. For those regions in which the issue of school uniforms

    has not yet been resolved, it is necessary to adopt the appropriate regulatory act. The requirements for the new uniform for schoolchildren are contained in a sample law sent by the Ministry of Education and Science to the regions.

    What should be the uniform school uniform?

    The introduction of a uniform does not mean, however, that all students will be dressed the same. For each educational institution, the color, style, appearance of clothing and the obligation to wear it will be determined individually. Schools are recommended to adopt a special local regulatory act regulating uniform issues for students, taking into account the opinions of parents.

    General education organizations can establish three types of school clothing: formal, casual and sports. The dress uniform is intended for festive events and school functions. The dress uniform differs from the everyday uniform by the presence of a light shirt or a festive accessory for boys and young men, a blouse or a festive accessory for girls and young women.

    Sportswear is used for physical education. The uniform of each school may have its own distinctive signs in the form of emblems, stripes, badges, ties, and so on.

    Dress style is generally accepted business style. Uniforms for schoolchildren must be secular in nature. Clothing, shoes and accessories with traumatic accessories, informal symbols that promote illegal behavior and the use of psychoactive substances are unacceptable.

    The requirements for the form must be accepted by all participants in the educational process and take into account the financial situation of large and low-income families.

    Part 1 of Art. 38 of the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”, the mandatory establishment of uniforms for students, the rules for wearing them and insignia are provided only in federal state educational organizations that implement educational programs in specialties and areas of training in the field of defense and security of the state, ensuring law and order, in the field of customs affairs, in the field of training of sailing crews of sea vessels, inland water vessels, fishing fleet vessels, aircraft flight personnel, aviation personnel, personnel providing air traffic management, as well as general educational and professional educational organizations implementing additional general educational programs, aimed at preparing minor citizens for military or other public service.

    However, clause 18, part 3, art. 28 of this Federal Law includes within the competence of an educational organization the establishment of requirements for the clothing of students. It seems that if the “dress code” is a more stringent set of requirements, then the “clothing requirements” may provide for different options for implementation.

    Thus, in a broad sense, wearing a school uniform may be required by an educational organization.

    By letter of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated March 28, 2013 No. DL-65/08 “On establishing requirements for the clothing of students,” a Model regulatory legal act of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation was sent on establishing requirements for clothing for students in educational programs of primary general, basic general and secondary general education, which provides recommendations for the introduction of these requirements, and also emphasizes that the decision to introduce clothing requirements for students in general education institutions should be made by all participants in the educational process (Article 26 of the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”) and take into account the material costs of low-income and large families.

    School Uniform Law

    Wearing a school uniform became mandatory on September 1, 2013 (see the blog “And again about school uniforms”, “School uniforms are coming back”). In accordance with the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation”, the establishment of requirements for students’ clothing is within the competence of the educational organization, unless otherwise established by the Law or the legislation of the subject of the Russian Federation (Article 28, Part 3, Clause 18 ).

    The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation sent an instructional letter “On establishing requirements for the clothing of students,” to which was attached a “Model regulatory legal act of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation on establishing requirements for clothing for students in educational programs of primary general, basic general and secondary general education.”

    At the same time, prosecutorial checks indicate that when introducing school uniforms, violations of the law and the requirements of regulatory documents of the Ministry of Education and Science are allowed. For example, denial of access to classes, removal from lessons of students who did not come in the prescribed uniform, application of unlawful disciplinary measures against them, etc.

    Currently, the Federal Law of June 4, 2014 No. 148-FZ (hereinafter referred to as the Law) amended the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation”. In particular:

  • Clause 18 of Part 3 of Article 28 and Part 5 of Article 86 were declared invalid;
  • Article 38 is stated in the new wording.
  • According to the new version of Article 38, “organizations carrying out educational activities (hereinafter referred to as the organization) have the right to establish requirements for students’ clothing, including requirements for its general appearance, color, style, types of students’ clothing, insignia, and rules for wearing it, if “otherwise not established by this article.”

    State and municipal organizations carrying out educational activities in educational programs of primary general, basic general and secondary general education establish requirements for students’ clothing in accordance with standard requirements approved by authorized government bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

    In an educational organization, taking into account the opinion of the student council, the parent council, as well as the representative body of employees of this organization and (or) students in it (if there is one), it is accepted relevant local regulation.

    Providing students with clothing in cases and in the manner established by state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation can be carried out at the expense of budgetary allocations from the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

    It has been determined that samples and descriptions of uniforms of training organizations implementing, in particular, educational programs in specialties and areas of training in the field of defense and state security, ensuring law and order, in the areas of customs affairs, training of sailing crews of sea vessels, inland water navigation vessels , fishing fleet, aircraft flight crews, aviation personnel, are established by the founders. They also determine the rules of wearing, security, and insignia.
    The provision of uniforms and other clothing (uniforms) to students at the expense of regional budget allocations is carried out in cases and in the manner established by the state authorities of the constituent entities of the Federation. At the expense of local budgets - by local governments.

    School uniform in the legal field

    Purchasing a school uniform is a fairly expensive item in the family budget when preparing children for school. If at the very beginning the majority of parents actively supported the introduction of school uniforms, arguing that school uniforms would hide the social stratification of students, now this is far from the case.

    As MK.RU found out (newspaper “Moskovsky Komsomolets” No. 27172 dated August 9, 2016, article “Give back the ancient Slavic initial letter and stars to schoolchildren!”), now one of the most popular parental initiatives in voting on the Internet is the abolition of school uniforms.

    An analysis of citizens' appeals to official bodies, to lawyers, and information about prosecutorial checks published on the Internet on school uniform issues indicates that the following circumstances could have influenced the parents' decision.

    Firstly, now the family’s financial status is determined not so much by clothes as by smartphone models, accessories, schoolchildren’s shoes, etc. Therefore, parents believe, spending money from the budget to dress everyone the same is pointless.

    Secondly, violation of legislative norms allowed by the administrations of educational organizations when introducing school uniforms, including such as:

    • development of local school regulations on school uniforms without taking into account the opinions of schoolchildren and their parents (legal representatives);
    • adoption of local school regulations on school uniforms without coordination with the state public administration body (school governing council, student council, parent council) and the representative body of employees of the educational institution;
    • the presence of provisions in local school regulations on school uniforms that raise objections from parents;
    • forced to purchase school uniforms only from a manufacturer or retail outlet specified by the school administration;
    • there are often cases of removal from lessons of students who came to classes not in school uniform, in violation of the constitutional right of a citizen of the Russian Federation to receive an education;
    • other moments that cause indignation of parents.
    • If you have any problems regarding school uniforms, you can use the following.

      1. Wearing a school uniform is mandatory in accordance with Federal Law No. 273-FZ of December 29, 2012 “On Education in the Russian Federation” (Article 38) (hereinafter referred to as the Education Law).

      2. Standard requirements for students’ clothing are established by authorized government bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. A model regulatory legal act of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation on establishing requirements for students’ clothing was sent to the regions by letter of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated March 28, 2013 No. DL-65/08 .

      3. The decision to introduce clothing requirements for students in general education institutions must be made by all participants in the educational process and take into account the material costs of low-income and large families.

      4. The obligation to wear a school uniform is enshrined in the school’s Charter, and the requirements for students’ clothing are established by the local regulatory act of the educational organization, prepared in accordance with the requirements approved by the authorized government bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

      5. The local regulatory act of an educational organization on school uniforms (for example, the Regulations on school uniforms) is adopted taking into account the opinions of the student council, the parent council, as well as the representative body of employees of this organization (if there is one).

      6. The general appearance of students’ clothing, its color, and style are determined by the state public administration body of the educational organization (school council, parent committee, class, school-wide parent meeting, board of trustees, and others).

      7. Students’ clothing must comply with SanPiN 2.4.7/1.1.1286-03. Schoolchildren's clothing and its appearance must comply with generally accepted social norms of business style and be of a secular nature. It is not recommended to wear clothes, shoes and accessories with traumatic accessories, symbols of asocial informal youth associations, as well as those promoting psychoactive substances and illegal behavior.

      8. If the school charter contains a clause stating that uniforms are mandatory at school, then all students, as participants in the educational process, are required to comply with the requirements of the school charter - wear a uniform. Therefore, a student’s attendance at school without a uniform is a violation of the requirements of the Charter of the educational institution.

      In accordance with the law on education (Article 43), for failure to comply with or violation of the school charter, internal regulations and other local regulations on the organization and implementation of educational activities, disciplinary measures may be applied to students - reprimand, reprimand, expulsion from the organization, carrying out educational activities.

      Most often, in school practice, it is enough to have a conversation with the student or his parents so that the student’s appearance meets the requirements of school etiquette. The use of such a measure as suspension from school is unlawful. By not allowing a child to go to school, the school administration violates what is guaranteed under Art. 43 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation the right to education.

      9. Since the standard requirements for student clothing are established by authorized government bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, they can also establish various mechanisms of financial support both for certain categories of citizens for the purchase of school clothing, and for organizations that produce them. The procedure for applying for a subsidy depends on the region of residence of the student’s family. Depending on the territory, you can apply for a subsidy either to the MFC, the district administration, or to the school.

      10.Forcing parents to purchase school uniforms from a specific supplier, even if the subject maintains a register of school uniform suppliers, is unacceptable, because the law on education and the Model Act do not provide for the possibility of establishing such a requirement by regions.

      If desired, parents can sew the uniform with their own hands. The Education Law and the Model Act do not prohibit this - the main thing is that it meets the standards set by the school.

      How to protect your rights if problems arise with your school uniform?

      First of all, it is necessary to establish whether the mandatory school uniform is enshrined in the school charter, whether the school has a local act that defines the requirements for the appearance of students, the general appearance, style and color of the school uniform, whether a local act on school uniform has been adopted taking into account opinions of a state-public governing body, a representative body of school employees.

      If it is determined that the Charter or local act of the school contradicts the law on education or a regional regulatory act, parents have the right to express their disagreement with the actions of the director by contacting the school’s public administration body or conflict commission. If such bodies have not been created at the school, you can contact the municipal education authority, Rosobrnadzor, the prosecutor's office, or appeal the school's decision in court.

      If parents are against the introduction of a school uniform, then lawyers advise doing the following:

    • document this and notify the school administration about it;
    • if the negative opinion of the state-public governing body of the school is ignored and clothing requirements are still established, then create a special commission to resolve disputes, which will include an equal number of representatives of the school, students and their parents and make a decision that is binding on everyone parties to the conflict;
    • can be appealed in court.
    • Note. In accordance with the law on education (Article 28), for violation or illegal restriction of the right to education and the rights and freedoms of students, parents (legal representatives) of minor students provided for by the legislation on education, violation of the requirements for the organization and implementation of educational activities, the educational organization and its officials persons bear administrative responsibility in accordance with the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses.

      Unified requirements for school uniforms in Russia come into force

      MOSCOW, September 1 - RIA Novosti. The new education law, which comes into force on September 1, sets a common approach for school uniforms across the country, in particular, they must be secular in nature and comply with generally accepted standards of business attire.

      After the conflict that flared up in the Stavropol region, caused by the decision of the director of one of the schools to prohibit Muslim students from going to class in hijabs, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested that the regions think about returning a uniform school uniform.

      In April of this year, the Russian Ministry of Education and Science developed and sent to the regions approximate requirements for schoolchildren’s clothing. The document notes that the general appearance of students’ clothing, its color, and style should be determined by the school council, parent committee, class meeting, school-wide parent meeting, and board of trustees.

      The school has the right to establish several types of clothing: casual, formal and sports. There are no strict uniform requirements for color and clothing set. The only thing is that the appearance and clothing of schoolchildren must correspond to the accepted norms of business style in society and be of a secular nature. It is not recommended to wear clothes, shoes and accessories with traumatic accessories, symbols of asocial informal youth associations, as well as those promoting psychoactive substances and illegal behavior.

      The document notes that schoolchildren from large families should be provided with free clothing for attending classes, as well as sports uniforms for the entire period of study at a general education institution.

      In Karelia, Tatarstan, Stavropol Territory, Belgorod, Leningrad, Moscow, Omsk, Orenburg, Penza, Rostov, Saratov, Ulyanovsk and Yaroslavl regions, even before such a norm was introduced into the law, uniform requirements for school clothing were established at the local level.

      How much is the form?

      The main item of expenditure for parents of new schoolchildren has become school uniforms, because from this year they have become mandatory throughout Russia. In St. Petersburg, for example, a uniform costs from 3.5 thousand rubles, sports uniforms and shoes can be bought from 1.2 thousand rubles.

      In Vladivostok, school uniforms were developed by public councils of educational institutions. Its cost differs depending on the school and the wishes of parents and teachers, the price of the set was approximately 3.5 thousand rubles, the sports uniform will cost another 1.5 thousand. For two pairs of shoes, one of which is a replacement, you will have to pay 5 thousand rubles.

      In the southern regions of Russia there are schools that did not give parents a choice, but told them exactly where to order clothes. On average in the south, a school uniform will cost 2-5 thousand rubles. There are schools that celebrate their students with one or two corporate subjects. For example, in one of the schools in Rostov-on-Don, parents spent only 600 rubles on a tie and vest; the rest of the clothes can be purchased at their own discretion.

      In the center of Russia, a uniform could be bought for about 3 thousand rubles. The authorities of the Bryansk region allocated more than 15.5 million rubles for sewing school uniforms, which were received as a gift by almost 12 thousand first-graders by September 1.

      The city of Bryansk also allocated funds from the municipal budget for uniforms for city first-graders. The majority of first-graders have already received their uniforms. It was made from fabrics from the Bryansk worsted factory; the clothes were made by one of the enterprises in Orel. The set for girls includes a jacket and sundress, for boys - a jacket and trousers. In Voronezh, the cost of the emblem of educational institutions will need to be added to the cost of the uniform. It costs about 350 rubles.

      In Ufa, a suit for first-graders in stores costs from 2 to 7 thousand rubles, and at the market or school bazaars a jacket and trousers can be purchased for 1 thousand rubles. The cost of a skirt with a vest for girls ranges from 1.5 thousand rubles to 4 thousand rubles. Shirts for boys will cost from 300 to 900 rubles, and white blouses with ruffles for girls - from 500 to 1.5 thousand rubles. Shoes for first-graders in stores cost from 1.7 thousand rubles and reaches 5 thousand rubles. You can buy it on the market for 500 rubles, but its quality, of course, leaves much to be desired.

      In Penza, a three-piece suit for a boy cost about 3 thousand rubles, a two-piece suit - 2.6-2.8 thousand rubles. A complete set for a girl (jacket, sundress, skirt, trousers, vest) cost 5 thousand rubles. A more economical option, for example, only a sundress and a jacket, cost 3 thousand rubles.

      In the Ulyanovsk region, local clothing factories offered sets of school uniforms for approximately 4.6 thousand rubles. At the same time, you could buy a complete set, or limit yourself to two or three things. For example, if you buy only a jacket and a skirt, it will cost about 2 thousand rubles. In Saratov, a uniform can be bought for 2.2 thousand rubles, and in general, the purchase of clothes and shoes is 5-10 thousand rubles.

      Before putting together an urgent document, it would be right to think about dividing the process into 3 groups. The prepared sections do not have to be printed in the same order. Before doing anything, you should think about what exactly you want as a result, once you get it right, write down the reasons. These may be business customs, local rules, orders of government agencies. The beginning is a very fundamentally important section that forms the trail. You should also not forget and figure out which important person this petition document will be addressed to and who specifically will be forced to draw up a response.

      On September 1, 2015, the new law “On Education in the Russian Federation” comes into force. Among its innovations is the right of an educational organization to set requirements for students’ clothing.

      Thus, school uniforms are being introduced again at the legislative level in the country. Its appearance is determined by the need to erase property, social and religious differences between students, strengthen the image of educational institutions, and provide schoolchildren with aesthetic and comfortable clothing.

      In many regions of the country this issue has already been regulated by law. For example, in the republics of Karelia and Tatarstan, in the Stavropol region, in the Belgorod region, Leningrad region, Moscow region, Omsk region, Orenburg region, Penza region, Rostov region, Saratov region, Ulyanovsk region, Yaroslavl region and in other subjects.

      Therefore, according to the text of the federal law, this rule is valid unless otherwise established by the legislation of the subject of the federation. For those regions in which the issue of school uniforms has not yet been resolved, it is necessary to adopt the appropriate legal act. The requirements for the new uniform for schoolchildren are contained in a sample law sent by the Ministry of Education and Science to the regions.
