In a letter to the Director of Secondary Education, the School and Mass Education department announced that secondary school students will now switch to the new uniforms.

According to the department's letter, the new uniforms will be introduced only in schools where the current uniforms, following the existing colour code, have not yet been stitched or distributed.
