Good move by MSU. Skirts are the most vulnerable part of school uniform which can be misused. Just think about the obscenity when a skirt wearing girl stand at a upper floor. Trousers can replace skirts for girls. Trousers covers the full limb, protect from wind, sun, cold. Other schools all over the country go for trousers for both boys and girls.

As far as fashion goes, I am a strong believer of students of different disciplines to dress in a manner that expresses their status as scholars. I have never been a fan of girls wearing belly-exposing tee-shirts and guys wearing shorts to classes, not to mention those mentioned in the article. And I feel that it is high-time for this to end. It gives our Educational institutes a bad face. On the other hand, I feel it would be unwise, and quite impossible, for the Government, or any organisation, to fix a dress code. Fashion is a big form of expression for the youth, and in a society where there is but little space for self-expression, taking away the only few means might lead to other, bigger problems.
I feel that the problem lies, not in the youths being overtly-rebellious, or the institutes, but in the idea that we have, especially about education and the educational institutions. If someone respects something and regards highly of it, won’t he respect it and try to live up to the expectations that has been set? So, maybe, just maybe, if we can teach the youth, from very early on, that Educational institutes are places to be respected, and if the institute itself gives off an image of unmistakeable respect and authority, I am sure the students attending that institute will follow suit.

Hey ram! I'm confused I am for a respectable dress sense by students but putting up a dress code by the government is something that bothers me. Schools and colleges should have their own dress code instead of the government framing some redundant laws.I think MSU should approach the principals and headmasters across the state to come up with a standard dress sense.
