STUDENTS from the UST Education High School (EHS) will start wearing “Type B” uniforms to cope with the hot weather during the dry months after shifting to the August-to-June academic calendar.
“Our daily uniforms are a bit uncomfortable during hot days and some occasions,” said EHS Student Council President Taña Carmela Sanchez in an email.
EHS Principal Loreto Sauz said administrators also thought of allowing Type B uniforms in place of civilian wear.
“They can also use the Type B uniform during special activities in school, instead of wearing civilian clothes, [like during their] field trip [or] culminating activities,” Sauz said in a phone interview.

Sanchez said students might be able to wear Type B uniforms by January 2017, but with the approval of the principal, it might be allowed in certain events.
“[A]s soon as all of the students receive their Type B uniforms, the council, with the approval of our principal, can officially announce its use on specific events in EHS even before January,” Sanchez said.
Type B uniforms were allowed by the colleges and faculties in the University beginning Feb. 15, 2015 following a memorandum signed by Secretary General Fr. Winston Cabading, O.P. on Feb. 3 of the same year.
The use of the secondary uniform during hot months was proposed in June 2014. Maria Crisanta M. Paloma
