School uniforms in Thailand

[1] Few variations from the standard model are permitted, but schools are not restricted from adopting additional, non-standard uniforms.

These uniforms are beige for boys and dark green for girls, both wearing neckerchiefs.

[9][10] Research has indicated that the wearing of uniforms reinforces in-group and out-group behaviours and existing hierarchies, but "does not promote students' life goals".

[11] On 1 December 2020, Thai school students, who have been helping to lead the pro-democracy protests, have refused to wear school uniforms on the first day of term, in a defiant protest to demand individual freedom over their lives and their bodies.

[12][13] Student communities began to question the necessity of the uniform, and seek the new solution towards their demand for reform of the country.
