I can think of three advantages of uniforms:-

  • They reduce competition for expensive clothes and build solidarity.

  • They are usually cheap and durable, suited for children who will get their clothes dirty (and occassionally fight).

  • It is.easier for people to identify if a students gets lost (particularly when outside school).

Of course, for this to work the uniforms should be simple, affordable and comfortable. And they should be uniform - no gendered outfits or special clothes for some students.
