The vast majority of educational institutions in the city are not yet ready for such an innovation.
Several schools in St. Petersburg have adopted a corporate standard of clothing for teachers for the beginning of the school year.
The initiative to dress St. Petersburg teachers in school uniform belongs to Governor Alexander Beglov. He voiced this proposal a year ago. Then at the city pedagogical council organized a fashion show, where designers clearly demonstrated their vision of the image of a teacher.
The authorities offered the schools to decide what the dress code for teachers would be, promising to give the teachers certificates to buy uniforms.
Currently, 12 schools in the city have gone the way of introducing a single standard of working clothes for the pedagogical staff. The vast majority of educational institutions are not ready to accept the innovation, limiting themselves to the general requirements for clothing: it should be in a strict business style.
