The decisions to adopt uniform were not consistent across the country. Suburban schools had a relatively lower rate of uptake, perhaps reflecting the efforts of a more highly politicised group of parents. The proponents on either side of the debate about school appear to have entrenched and almost polar opposite opinions, and there is a fog of statistics and counter-statistics available to support either proposition.
