The university gave a "barcode" that the kid or his guardian can scan to electronically purchase school uniforms. The institution has established several controls for school uniforms and students' external appearance during school hours, most notably that all students must wear school uniforms in accordance with the approved design for each episode, and care must be taken to wear school uniforms that are neat, tidy, and clean.
Students in the third episode must also cover their heads with a "black Sheela "with the school uniform according to the approved design, and students must wear white garments beneath the Emirati" kandura "with their obligation to wear" Al-isama " with formal or sports shoes.
