According to Ms. Fu's introduction, her son is in the third grade at Hainan Xiu Ying Staff Children's School. In the past two years, every time after the Spring Festival when school starts, the school requires ordering two sets of long-sleeved uniforms and two sets of short-sleeved uniforms for a year. Each set costs 68 yuan, and now she already has eight sets of uniforms for her son. It can be understood that students wear uniforms during school days for school management, but it seems a bit excessive to have bought 8 sets of uniforms for her son over the past two years.
"Her son is currently in the physical development stage, and after a few years, he will not be able to wear these uniforms anymore, and each set is not cheap," said Ms. Fu. If the school continues the same practice as the last two years after this Spring Festival, making students order four more sets of uniforms, she really doesn't know what to do.
Regarding this matter, Principal Zhang of Hainan Xiu Ying Staff Children's School explained that the entire school strictly follows the spirit of the higher education authorities regarding the ordering of uniforms, adhering to the principle of student voluntariness, and would never force students to order them. The school orders new uniforms every year to give younger students without uniforms a chance to order them. If students already have fitting uniforms, there is no need to participate in the ordering again. "I have not yet received any feedback from parents about students buying 8 sets of uniforms. The ordering of uniforms is entirely based on voluntary principles," he said.
On the morning of January 10th, Ms. Fu, a parent of a student at Hainan Xiu Ying Staff Children's School, reported to Nandu.com that if her son is required to order uniforms again after the New Year's school start, she doesn't know what to do as he already owns 8 sets of uniforms.
