A recent Gilani poll conducted by Gallup Pakistan shows that, majority of all Pakistanis (60%) are in the favor of having a compulsion of wearing uniform in educational institutes and hence they think that Sindh governments' recent decision of removing this rule is incorrect; 21% believe the decision is right whereas 18% are unsure and 1% gave no response. The results in both rural and urban Sindh are almost identical and fairly close to the national average.

The recent Gilani poll was conducted in Pakistan by Gallup Pakistan, affiliated with Gallup International Association, among a sample of 2780 men and women from rural and urban areas of all four provinces of the country, during December 2009.
