Norway politician advocates school uniforms. NEWS IN BRIEF: A senior Christian Democrat (KrF) politician wants to introduce school uniforms to Oslo. Deputy Mayor of Oslo Aud Kvalbein thinks simple school uniforms would be most relevant to primary school aged children, drawing inspiration from her grandchildren living in Britain. “It can help you identify with and have pride in your school. Even girls that are quite young experience pressure to be fashionable. This type of measure would eliminate it,” she told Aftenposten, advocating the capital would be a good place for the experiment.

Deputy Mayor of Oslo Aud Kvalbein thinks simple school uniforms would be most relevant to primary school aged children, drawing inspiration from her grandchildren living in Britain.

“It can help you identify with and have pride in your school. Even girls that are quite young experience pressure to be fashionable. This type of measure would eliminate it,” she told Aftenposten, advocating the capital would be a good place for the experiment.

Ms Kvalbein, who is one of the candidates running for mayor in next week’s local elections, also explained that social justice and school healthcare standards, and care for the elderly is important to her Party.
