Junior high schools in Japan are looking to stop sewing or embroidering name tags on school uniforms to protect students’ identities.
This prompted the local police in 2021 to request schools and education boards to review their policies on name tags on school uniforms, among other things. The school currently embroiders students’ names on uniform blazers and shirts, but is considering abolishing this practice when it joins a reorganisation of elementary and junior high schools into a nine-year compulsory school system in the country in the 2026 academic year.
Names are often sewn on or embroidered on the school uniforms as students tend to lose detachable name tags or forget to put them on, according to school officials.
