When The School Uniform Upgrade Of Chancheng Is In Progress: The School Uniform Of The School Opening Ceremony Attracts Attention

Recently, Chancheng District Education Bureau proposed to promote the unified management of school uniforms, which triggered heated discussion from all walks of life. The local school uniform brand "School Opening Ceremony" and the media launched the "Voice of School Uniform" street interview campaign. Around four schools, including Foshan No. 4 Middle School and Zhangcha Middle School, nearly 100 parents and students were randomly interviewed to explore the real demands of the citizens on school uniform reform. According to the survey, more than 70% of parents support unified management, but they have higher expectations for quality improvement and cultural empowerment. The school uniform solution of "intelligence+intangible cultural heritage" launched at the school opening ceremony may provide a way to break the situation for reform.

　　 1、 Satisfaction survey: functionality and comfort become the core demands

On“ Are you satisfied with your child's existing school uniforms? ”Among the questions, 62% of the parents gave a positive comment: "It can be worn, but it is not good enough." Ms. Chen, the parent of the second day student of Foshan No. 4 Middle School, said frankly: "The school uniform has poor air permeability, children are full of sweat stains after physical education classes, and they have to wear additional clothes in summer." This view was recognized by most parents.

　　 The pain points of parents are mainly reflected in three aspects ：

　　 Fabric quality : The chemical fiber material is sultry, easy to pilling, and deformed and faded after repeated washing;

　　 Loss of function : No sunscreen and waterproof design, insufficient protection against bad weather;

　　 hidden danger : The reflective strip area is small, and the school uniform in winter has no fluorescent logo.

"The price of school uniforms is nearly 1000 yuan every year, but the quality cannot keep up with the consumption upgrade." Mr. Li, the parent of Zhangcha Central Primary School, sighed.

　　 2、 The voice of reform: unification ≠ homogenization, cultural identity needs to be activated urgently

For“ The school uniform in Chancheng District will be unified soon. What's your suggestion? ”The parents' attitudes are divided:

Supporters (73%) believe that unified procurement can eliminate inferior products and reduce price anxiety. "Now the bidding standards of schools are different, and the supervision will be more transparent after unification," said Ms. Wang, the parent.

　　 Optimist (25%): Worried that "one size fits all" will lead to the disappearance of cultural characteristics. "School uniform is the carrier of campus culture, which should have exclusive elements such as school logo and school motto." Mr. Zhang, an alumnus of Foshan No. 1 Middle School, emphasized.

It is worth noting that 89% of the respondents call for embedding local cultural genes in school uniforms. "Foshan Awakening Lion, Cantonese Opera and ceramics are treasures. If we can embroider intangible cultural heritage patterns on school uniforms, children will wear clothes and inherit culture." The proposal of Ms. Liu, the parent, resonated.

　　 3、 New ideas for solving problems: breaking the "science and technology+culture" scheme of the school opening ceremony

In the face of parents' demands, Chancheng local enterprises' school uniforms responded quickly to the school opening ceremony. According to the person in charge of the brand, its new generation school uniform system has launched three major upgrades for the pain points:

　　 Intelligent wear innovation

New iteration, the application of scientific and technological fabrics, the cool feeling/anion/anti mite/anti mosquito/heat shielding/7A antibacterial/quick drying, a combination of multiple effects, redefine, create a new functional "school opening ceremony" science and technology uniforms.

　　 Intangible Cultural Heritage Aesthetic Design

Cooperate with Foshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Center to develop a library of patterns such as "Awakening Lion Leaping Longmen" and "Xiqiao Mountain Kapok". The school can customize its own cultural identity;

Chinese style elements such as collars and buttons are available for matching, giving consideration to aesthetics and practicality.

　　 Sustainable services

Old school uniforms can be exchanged for new ones, and donated to mountain schools after transformation;

Donate 1 yuan to "Foshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritance Fund" for each set of school uniforms sold.

"School uniforms should not be just fabric splicing, but should become safety protection nets, cultural communicators, and growth recorders." The design director of the school opening ceremony said that the first batch of pilot school uniforms had been evaluated by parents in Foshan No. 4 Middle School, with 92% satisfaction.

　　 4、 Expert interpretation: school uniform reform needs to build a tripartite win-win ecology

Educators pointed out that the unification of school uniforms is not simply "changing styles", but needs to build an ecology of "education bureau supervision+enterprise innovation+home school co governance":

　　 Policy level : Establish a transparent marketing platform and introduce a parent review panel to supervise the quality;

　　 Corporate responsibility : Meet the demand of "basic style unification and cultural style customization" through flexible production;

　　 Home school collaboration : Set up a school uniform improvement committee to collect dressing feedback regularly.

The relevant person in charge of the Chancheng District Education Bureau responded that the policy would be optimized by reference to the survey data, and the White Paper on School Uniform Quality was planned to be issued this year, which would include the permeability, color fastness and other indicators concerned by parents into the mandatory standards.

　　 epilogue

A street interview reflected the city's urgent expectation for the upgrading of educational equipment. When the school uniform changes from a "unified uniform" to a "carrier of cultural confidence", this innovation initiated by the opening ceremony may become a fresh footnote to the "Foshan Smart Manufacturing" enabling education reform.
