    If the uniforms are provided, with needed accessories to be worn correctly, then sure.

    If it’s just an “affordable” vendor, then meh.

    Fines only work on the poor, and a not-free but mandatory uniform simply acts like a fine for being poor.

      Bases on the news, a basic kit is provided. What worries me is the only 2 polo shirts part. (but a blazer jacket because they have their priorities right). I can’t see how family will keep them clean without buying extra ones. Not a problem for kids from middle class and above family who have access to a dryer and an afford a couple of “same colour polo shirt” which "should do the trick as part of an uniform assuming the principal isn’t a asshole). But if you’re from a poor family, where clothes need 3 days to dry on a rack. They’ll be the stinky dirty kid

      Oh look, the far right pretending they care about children again… Let’s see… I’m gonna bet on some minister has some shares in a clothes factory somewhere

      Not just provided, but also provided in sufficient amounts. And ideally with a comprehensive replacement policy. If you give just one then there will be problems when it needs cleaning or if it gets damaged.
