We have very limited information on Czechoslovakia at this time. What was once Czechoslovakia was formerly Bohemia and part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Czechoslovakia was created in 1919 after World War I. Briefly just before World War II, the country split into Slovakia and the Protecorate of Bohemia and Moravia. After the War Czechoslovakia was recreated and became a Communist People's Republic. After overthrowing Communism, the country split into Slovakia anf the Czech Republic. Thesec political changes of course affected attitudes toward schoolwear as well as fashion changes over time. The children here in 1952 do not wear uniforms (figure 1). Short pants and long stockings were common for the younger children. Apparently the uniforms were not introduced yet. We note that later during the Communist era that many school photographs show many children in their Young Pioneer uniforms, but other photographs do not. The uniforms are white shirts and blue pants worn with a red scarve. An image archived on HBC here shows Czech children wearing their unifoirms in 1965. We are not quite sure yet when the uniforms were introduced and what the regulations were.
