School uniform and its relationship with the law
Introduction
Under the former Law 149 of July 15, 1999, “Organic Law of the Department of Education” according to amended, in article 3.08 said that the Secretary of Education will promulgate a Student Regulation for the Public Education System and that it is the School Council that determines the uniform. In addition, it establishes that no student can be penalized if he comes to school without the same.
In contrast to the new Organic Law, Law 85 of 2018, within the functions of the School Council, the word school uniform is not mentioned in any of its articles even as one of the functions of the School Council. It is through a circular letter of the secretary that these conditions are established.
Developing
In the most recent circular letter, the 08-2019-2020 indicates that there will be a moratorium for the implementation of the new school uniform and quoted: “During the 2020-2021 school year the transition will be worked with and in August 2021 the 2021new uniforms, ”said the head of Education, Choose Hernández. The new uniform will allow girls to choose between using long or short pants or skirt, but boys who want to wear skirts will go through a sieve;that is, they are still discriminated against by their sexual preference.
The school director is the agent who encourages, according to Law 85, the implementation of public policies promulgated by the DEPR, but in turn, it has some autonomy to confer some matters, among these, article 2.10 Indicate:
1) guarantee the conditions for the educational and socio-emotional development of the students. For a male student who is interested.
2) Promote a safe, inclusive and dynamic educational environment. Respect for their decisions in relation to the school uniform, because they are giving them the option of selecting, results in inclusion and security procedures.
3) Coordinate resources to support school goals and meet the needs of students. The permission without limitations for the selection of your school uniform is to meet the students’ needs, because they gave you to choose.
So, in this analysis it is uncomfortable to think that the established public policy could have variants depending on the beliefs and idiosyncrasy of each school director? Or will the school directors the heroes in compliance with this circular letter? Will parents be barriers so that their children can feel better about themselves? We are prepared, society, for this paradigms change?
conclusion
In terms of human resources within the school culture, it is essential that the chain of people involved with the students are very clear about the directives, from which students receive at the door, social workers, administrative staff, and byAssumption, teachers cannot even present a facial expression of discrimination against that child who decides to put skirts. There must be a massive orientation with students against bullying or ‘bullying’, we must simply develop acceptance without arguments.
Opinions or decisions must be personal and leave others to make their decisions, even if they are opposed to ours. The director is the first engine of change so that others can comply with the instructions. This is a cultural issue, if we were Scots, Irish, Romans, Greek, Albanians, Indonesians or Africans, we would not see it wrong. In most countries, men use skirts such as military uniforms, honor guards, and as gala dresses for weddings or special events.
