LGBTQIA+ community calls for progressive school uniform guidelines

There have been growing calls from civil groups, activists, pupils and parents for the implementation of progressive school uniform guidelines for LGBTQIA+ pupils across South African schools. School uniform policies have previously been focused on affordability and accessibility. The current uniform policies are draft guidelines which allow departments and schools at a provincial level to interpret them in the way they see fit, which can be problematic if non-discriminatory guidelines are included.
