She said the ban had been communicated to Education Secretaries of public and private schools in the state.
The commissioner charged the education secretaries to ensure schools comply with the directives to salvage the future of the pupils in the state.
Chuma-Udeh decried the growing trend of female pupils putting on miniskirt uniforms to schools.
She pointed out that it was morally wrong and unacceptable to the standards desired for the children by the state government.
“A student should look smart, well groomed, project positive vibes and not be indecently dressed for school,” she pointed out.
“The acceptable length for uniforms in the state remains knee length and not above the knee, which is fast becoming the fashion trend in schools,’’ she noted.
Chuma-Udeh also urged the secretaries to instil the right morals and discipline in students so that they would be well-behaved and grow to become responsible adults
