Additionally, there is no intention to repaint existing schools.”
Justifying the Ministry’s decision on the New Uniforms, MoE stated that
“The Minister’s statement was with specific reference to the selection of brighter and friendly colors for the painting of the newly constructed 21st Century Model Junior High schools. The aim is to lighten and enhance the appearance and physical outlook of the new schools. It is never a case of repainting existing schools or altering them in any way.”
