This snapshot was taken in Klerksdorp, North West Province, South Africa. It shows Quintus, Jason and Zander De Bruyn, three South African brothers, leaving home on the first schoolday 2010. Zander, who was 5 years old, attended the preschool. Both Quintus (10) and Jason (8) attended Laerskool La Hoff, a public primary school in the township of La Hoff (city of Klerksdorp). The school has two different uniforms: a uniform of shorts and polo shirt with the school name and the classic grey uniform with the school logo. We don't know if the uniforms are worn for different activities and why the brothers are wearing different uniforms for their first school day. As most South Afican schools, according to the Ministry of Education guidelines, both the preschool and the primary school allow, or perhaps encourage, the pupils to attend barefoot.
