The Cabinet of Ministers has approved the dress code requirements for educators in state general education institutions.
According to the document, a teacher’s attire must not hinder their dynamic work, distract students, and at the same time form a proper attitude in students towards clothing, style, and choosing attire appropriate for various situations.
The clothing and elements of attire of educators must be in accordance with the secular principle of general education, clean, neat, simple, and in a business style appropriate for the season. The use of clothing and clothing elements that do not match the nature of pedagogical activity and the age characteristics of students, as well as those deviating from the clothing style determined by these requirements, is not permitted.
The purpose of these requirements is to establish a unified approach regarding the attire of educators and to form a culture of business dress in schools.
