We are not sure how common uniforms are in primary schools, but a number of schools do have them. We see primary scholdren wearing a range of fashionable styles. Korean primary schools are notable for the variation in these uniforms. Japanese school iniforms in contrast are much less varied. We see styles at Korean schools that we have not noted in other countries. Several schools had vest-like garments. Boys in the 1970s wore military cadet uniforms as in Japan. I only notice this at secondary schools. They look to be the same style cadet uniforms worn in Japan. This shows the very significant Japanese influence in Korean education. This seems to have been very common. I'm not sure if it was a national mandate. I'm not sure if this is still the case today. Hopefully Korean readers will provide us more information.
