MHK to question school uniform consultation

Monday, 30 January 2023 07:50

The current consultation on school uniforms in secondary schools is set to be discussed in the House of Keys tomorrow.

MHK for Arbory, Casteltown and Malew Jason Moorhouse will ask the Education Minister the reason for running it.

It comes as the government is looking for views from students, parents, teachers and suppliers on the role school uniforms play in schools, particularly amid the cost of living crisis.

The Department of Education has launched a month-long consultation so people can have their say.

Tomorow's sitting will start at 10am.
