Hundreds of schools around the country are restoring the requirement of wearing school uniforms - but with a twist. "It won't be like what I used to have to wear when I was a girl," Education Minister Limor Livnat said, "with ruffled skirts and an ugly blouse." Instead, pupils will be allowed to wear various colored T-shirts, featuring the school's emblem on the front. The reasons for the switch include the difficult economic situation (each shirt will only cost 8-18 shekels), the desire to avoid navel-disclosing apparel, and the hope that discipline will be improved.
