In a recent interview with TV47, Nairobi woman representative Esther Passaris ignited controversy with her proposal to abolish school uniforms across the country. Passaris argued that the tradition of wearing uniforms perpetuates a colonial mentality and should be eliminated.
However, her statement was met with sharp criticism from various quarters, particularly from a section of Kenyan citizens who highlighted the important role of school uniforms in equalizing students and minimizing competition between those from affluent and underprivileged backgrounds.
The debate surrounding school uniforms is not new, but Passaris’ proposition has reignited discussions on the cultural and social significance of this practice in Kenya’s education system.
While some agree with Passaris’ perspective, advocating for more freedom of expression and individuality among students, others staunchly defend the tradition, emphasizing its role in promoting unity and inclusivity within schools.
As the discourse continues, it remains to be seen whether Passaris’ proposal gains traction or if the enduring value of school uniforms prevails in Kenya’s educational landscape.
