New standards for school uniforms unveiled by the Ministry of Education
The Minister of Education and Science of the Nizhny Novgorod region, Mikhail Putchkov, has announced a new school uniform standard that will take effect on September 3, 2025. The aim of this new standard is to improve the quality of clothing for students.
Under the new standard, clothing for students or school should be indicated in the name of the clothing. The standard requires that the labeling of the clothing should also show compliance with the new standard. However, no specific details have been provided about any changes to the appearance, color, or style of the school uniform.
The new standard allows educational institutions to independently set requirements for the appearance, color, and style of clothing, considering parent and child opinions. Items in the school uniform should not contain symbols of antisocial youth subcultures or promote illegal behavior.
The design of the items in the new school uniform standard should ensure the comfort of the school uniform in both static and dynamic conditions. Recommendations have been made for hardware in the new school uniform standard, with the use of bulky metal hardware, hooks, rivets, and other hardware with sharp edges not recommended.
The standard specifies optimal and acceptable values for hygroscopicity, air permeability, free formaldehyde content, and requirements for the physical-mechanical properties of materials, colorfastness of fabrics, and the durability of school uniforms. No information was given about any penalties or consequences for non-compliance with the new school uniform standard.
It is worth noting that preparing a child for school costs an average of 16,000 rubles, although this is not directly related to the new school uniform standard. The main items of school uniform include a vest, jacket/blazer, cardigan, sweater, turtleneck, shirt, dress/sarafan, skirt, trousers, shorts, and overalls.
As of now, there is no publicly available detailed information or specifications about the new school uniform standard for the Nizhny Novgorod region in Russia for the 2025-2026 school year. If you want, I can help monitor for updates once more information is released.
