No monopoly

But it was very clear that the Sharjah Educational Zone intended to break such kind of monopolies and standardise the uniforms of its schools by carrying the symbol of the zone, and also confining its price to Dh60. It also limited the sales of such uniforms to one specific shop.

In fact, from the start, some liked this decision, while others objected to it. We support and appreciate the efforts of the Sharjah Educational Zone, but we too have our objections and reservations on the decision, as the zone, we feel, does not need to sell its symbol to one shop alone. Why does the Sharjah Educational Zone not sell its logo as a badge to the parents? Also, the parents can buy the fabric of the uniform according to the colours selected by the zone, and then tailor it according to their own needs.

Actually, this uniform issue is not such a big deal as it is made out to be. Parents should have the freedom to select the material without the need for any intervention from the educational departments who waste their efforts that can be focused on developing the educational process.
