Pupils, parents and teachers are to be consulted by the authorities on uniforms in state schools.

The Ministry of Education said a consultation among pupils in middle and secondary schools will be held next week.

The pupils will be asked to say, through a link, whether they prefer the traditional uniform or a tracksuit.

Primary school children will be consulted through focus groups.

The process will later be followed up with consultation among parents and teachers.

The ministry said that should tracksuits be chosen, they will be phased in gradually to avoid financial burdens on parents.
