evidence

that

will

be

necessary

in

forming

conclusions

and

recommendations. The researcher will also browse for more updated


information regarding the subject to collaborate the ideas given from
different articles posted on the internet.

analyzed using statistical method.
The level of acceptance of the implementation of school uniform will be
computed using the basic measure of central location (eg. mean and mode).
The data that will be used are dependent from the results of interview
