  • 1School Uniforms Although the school year is coming to a close, the row over school uniforms drags on, Those lobbying for the abolition of uniforms claim they are expensive, inappropriate for this day and age, poorly designed and that they repress the adolescent's right to express their individuality.

Discussion and viewer feedback with the headmaster of Onslow College, who advocates abolishing uniforms and adopting mufti.
