Said approval arises as a result of the proposal presented a few months ago by the head of Government of the CDMX, Claudia Sheinbaum, who, initially, considered that it was the girls who had the option of choosing what to wear. However, in a debate with the PRD deputy, Polimnia Romana, it was stipulated that the possibility of choosing would be for both boys and girls.
After establishing that both genders had the possibility of choosing the uniform garment that they should wear within the educational establishments and justifying said opinion, the president of the Education Commission, the deputy José de Jesús Martín del Campo Castañeda, assured that this set of reforms has as its main function to respond to the educational needs that Mexico City currently presents.
