Learners face a long walk to learning without shoes. Many learners go to school without school shoes because their parents or caregivers cannot afford them. The lack of shoes may impact the learning. Shoes protect feet, and this is the key function of school shoes for children. A good quality school shoes has features that boosts their longevity and makes them durable to stand up to long walk and hours of playing.
Learners without school shoes may lose learning days because they don’t have protection from the elements or dangers of rough terrain. If they have shoes that are in poor in shape, too big or too small, it could cause injury which results in further lost learning days because they physically cannot commute. Some learners might avoid school because having their peers know they do not have shoes or wearing extremely worn-out ones leads to feelings of shame.
Some teachers may even prevent learners from being in class because they don’t have shoes, and this further contributes to the feeling of school being a hostile environment where the child’s dignity is comprised. Dignity is likely an important function of school shoes. It completes the school uniform and may contribute to a sense of confidence and even pride in meeting the school dress code.
