The school board last month scrapped a dress code regulation, which stipulated that male students can only wear trousers to school, student affairs division head Lin San-wei (林三維) said. The move allows male students to wear skirts to school should they choose to without risking punishment, he said. Female students can continue to wear skirts or trousers to school, he added. The decision was made “not to encourage male students to wear skirts,” but to create a gender-equal campus and show more respect to students’ choices, Lin said. The school and the Ministry of Education said that the school could be the first in the nation to allow male students to wear skirts on campus.
