Solution to uniform costs, scrap them!
This evening on the news there was a report on the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance. There is a backlog of applicants this year meaning that payments may reach parents after their children and back in school, thus defeating the purpose of the scheme. Uniforms are very expensive costing hundreds of euro for most families.
I’ve a better solution to the cost of uniforms. Do away with uniforms altogether!
This would put hundreds of euro back into the pockets of families so they can reinvest the money into the important costs of education. Tutoring, books, grinds and stationary.
