What will change in schools from September 1: for children, parents and teachers

The main changes will affect the way of communication and school uniforms.

Alexander Reut, Director of the Department of State General Education Policy and Development of Preschool Education at the Russian Ministry of Education, said on August 6 that the introduction of GOST on school uniforms would help erase the boundaries between children from families with different incomes. According to him, the standard is also designed to protect schoolchildren from poor—quality clothing, and parents from unnecessary expenses.

On June 29, Russia introduced GOST for sewing school uniforms for the first time. As specified in the document describing the new standards, uniforms for schoolchildren should be designed in a business style, and the cut should be used so that it is comfortable to stay in a sitting position for a long time in clothes.
