School uniforms return to French town in pilot scheme to tackle inequality
Pupils at four schools in Béziers introduced uniform the government says could be rolled out nationwide if successful

If the uniforms are provided, with needed accessories to be worn correctly, then sure.
If it's just an "affordable" vendor, then meh.
Fines only work on the poor, and a not-free but mandatory uniform simply acts like a fine for being poor.
Bases on the news, a basic kit is provided. What worries me is the only 2 polo shirts part. (but a blazer jacket because they have their priorities right). I can't see how family will keep them clean without buying extra ones. Not a problem for kids from middle class and above family who have access to a dryer and an afford a couple of "same colour polo shirt" which "should do the trick as part of an uniform assuming the principal isn't a asshole). But if you're from a poor family, where clothes need 3 days to dry on a rack. They'll be the stinky dirty kid
In most climates, clothes will dry in 1 day. Still – 3 is the absolute minimum: 1 to wear, 1 to wash, 1 to dry.
Oh look, the far right pretending they care about children again... Let's see... I'm gonna bet on some minister has some shares in a clothes factory somewhere
Not just provided, but also provided in sufficient amounts. And ideally with a comprehensive replacement policy. If you give just one then there will be problems when it needs cleaning or if it gets damaged.
