School Uniforms

There are many private and public schools in Gaborone. Up through high school most of the schools require that their students wear uniforms. The students really look sharp in their uniforms. It is fun to see large groups of them walking to or from school. The girls are usually in skirts and blouses or dresses.

Many of the uniforms include sweaters. The students wear the sweaters even when the temperature is in the 95 degree Fahrenheit temperature range. We cringe every time we see this and we are trying to keep cool, but it does not seem to bother them at all.

Sometimes on a hot day the classes will meet outdoors under the shade of a tree.
