Scottish pupils face being forced to wear gender neutral uniforms as part of a radical plan to cut costs for parents and to promote 'equality in the classroom'.
Nicola Sturgeon's coalition government has launched a public consultation on the proposal, which says reforming the national uniform policy will remove 'unnecessary rules around what each gender should wear'.
The SNP-Green plan also wants to help families struggling through the cost-of-living crisis by introducing a price cap that would remove 'huge costs on families due to overly specific policies and too few suppliers', according to Ross Greer MSP, education spokesman for the Scottish Greens.
Under the proposal, blazers and branded PE kits could be outlawed and replaced with gender-neutral 'generic items of uniform'.
