Student rules in Singapore

First, the current situation of legal education in primary and secondary schools in Singapore

(A) to strengthen the legal education in the course of civic moral education.

The Singapore government has paid attention to cultivating students' civic awareness since childhood. Civic moral education is a compulsory course for primary and secondary school students in Singapore, with the goal of cultivating "good citizens" in society.

Singapore's Ministry of Education has formulated five themes for civic and moral education courses: personality shaping; Contact with family; A sense of belonging to the school; As a member of society; Be proud of your country and be loyal to it. These five themes guide students to know individuals first, then extend to family, school, and finally society and country. The content of civic moral education textbooks is lively, with cartoons as the main content in grades one to three and life cases as the main content in grades four to six. The textbook emphasizes that students should accept the concept of "public * * *", cultivate students' sound personality, and give them a sense of identity and belonging to family and society.

The civic moral education course in primary and secondary schools in Singapore helps students gradually understand the concepts of "public" and "rules" by explaining and discussing specific public life events, and lays a good foundation for students to become law-abiding good citizens in the future.

(B) a clear management system of rewards and punishments, so that students have a sense of "rules" from an early age.

Singapore schools have a clear system of rewards and punishments. The school thinks that students can be rewarded without doing anything particularly important or having outstanding performance. All good behaviors and exemplary performances of students should be encouraged and praised. For example, children with honest, warm and friendly qualities will be publicly praised at school parties. At the same time, the school will send the praise to the students in writing to the parents.

Reward is not stingy, punish is not shy. Generally, the following measures are taken to deal with students' violations of discipline: (1) Law training teachers have a heart-to-heart talk, and general first-time offenders or minor violations end after heart-to-heart talk education; (2) Inform parents (students are very afraid of teachers informing parents); (3) Attend counseling courses and accept the required hours of study; (4) Participate in class work or community service within the specified time. Students who violate the discipline seriously may be required to apologize publicly, accept flogging, suspend classes or even be expelled. When students have serious violations of discipline, such as fighting, swearing, being late for more than three times or being absent from class, teachers will use corporal punishment-flogging. Whipping in primary and secondary schools is closely related to whipping in Singapore's criminal law. Schools should make students understand that schools, like society, should be responsible for everyone's behavior from an early age.

(3) Rich extracurricular activities and standardized community service activities provide students with effective opportunities for educational practice.

Extracurricular activities play an important role in forming standardized behavior and shaping moral quality in practice. Primary and secondary schools in Singapore have carried out various extracurricular activities, such as flag-raising ceremony, cultural and sports activities, respecting the elderly and loving the virtuous, planting trees, cleaning up, and civilized and polite month activities. Extracurricular activities provide ample opportunities for students to manage independently. For example, Nanyang Technological University, all the clothing departments, bookstores and canteens in the school are run by students, and no teachers are involved in any link. Since primary school, the school has advocated entrepreneurship and let students experience entrepreneurship. For example, students make their own handicrafts and sell them on the street, or organize their own parties, invite community residents and parents to participate, and donate the money raised to social charities. Students' sense of social responsibility and civic awareness are constantly strengthened in extracurricular activities.

(d) Providing multi-angle counseling and placement for a very small number of students with bad behavior.

Singapore schools attach great importance to the prevention of students' bad behavior and counseling after bad behavior occurs.

-that is, the school has set up a student counseling center, a consultation center or a student development center to alleviate all kinds of bad emotions that students may have. Some schools, such as Nanyang Technological University, implement personal tutor programs. Tutors are not only responsible for guiding students' academic development, but also for finding and solving students' emotional problems and minor bad behaviors, which are similar to the domestic "moral tutorial system", "student growth tutorial system" and contact system.

Second, the school's law training department, law training department or registration department is responsible for dealing with students' violations of discipline. They offer counseling courses for students who violate discipline, covering school discipline and rules, civic morality, legal spirit, psychological counseling, compensation services and so on. Some schools have a law teacher, a policeman or an official in the legal training department to help students who make mistakes study the legal code in depth, and encourage students to accept punishment and grow up through social labor and campus services.

Third, if students' bad behavior involves criminal law, such as collecting pornographic CDs, the school will inform the police to intervene. If the situation is serious, students may be taken in, and finally the juvenile court decides whether to take them in. During the reception period, students attend classes as usual during the day, but they must return to the reception center at night. Maintain good communication between the judicial department and the school.

Fourth, the government provides special education places for children with particularly serious behaviors, poor academic performance and dropping out of school after graduating from middle school. The government provides such schools with sufficient education funds, special counseling courses and some practical skills courses, so that students can master their skills and stand on the society. The number of such schools is very small and the number of students is also very small. School education funds and students' various expenses at school are entirely borne by the government, which plays an important role in preventing juvenile delinquency.

(5) The harmonious environment inside and outside the school has created a good legal education atmosphere for students.

Singapore is a big garden, and every school is a small garden. Walking into any school, you can see a clean and tidy campus, and the school motto and discipline are engraved in eye-catching places. Schools in Singapore adhere to the tenet of self-discipline, self-discipline and self-supervision emphasized by the Ministry of Education, pay attention to creating a self-disciplined school environment and atmosphere for students, and reflect various requirements in daily teaching and management.

Singapore's social and legal environment is also world-famous, and they believe that severe punishment is the guarantee of order. This severe punishment for bad behavior has a great deterrent effect and created a good social atmosphere for legal education in primary and secondary schools in Singapore.

Second, the enlightenment and thinking of legal education in primary and secondary schools in Singapore

(a) The contents of civic education in schools can be effectively integrated and infiltrated.

In the process of becoming qualified citizens, students need to receive all kinds of education, such as moral education, mental health education, safety education, legal education, health education, environmental education, drug control education, adolescent education and so on. With the development of society, its educational content is bound to increase, and students' schedule time is limited, which is also the same problem faced by education in various countries.

Increasing educational content should not be at the expense of students' rest and entertainment time, let alone at the expense of their healthy growth. The only way out is effective integration. All kinds of special education in Singapore are realized through civic and moral education courses and other courses such as language, history and geography, which are worth learning from.

However, the integration of various special education, including law education, is not an easy task, and at least three aspects should be considered: First, the integration of teaching implementation. At present, the boundaries of various educational contents are increasingly blurred. Educational integration requires teachers to have a horizontal penetration and profound understanding of their own knowledge. Second, the development and construction of curriculum materials should be integrated, which involves not only curriculum modules, construction modes and technical means of coordination and integration, but also curriculum developers' constructive understanding and reflective thinking of various educational contents, as well as their understanding and choice of educational value. The third is the supervisor. Departments and functional departments should be integrated. Each special education belongs to a different commission, even if there are different functional departments within the unit, how to coordinate and integrate is the most difficult.

(b) Systematic management benefits, reasonable rewards and appropriate punishments are necessary.

"People manage people to death, and the system manages people to get benefits", not only for enterprises, but also for school education. Now there is a tendency that we should protect students' self-esteem, encourage and praise students more, and try not to use punishment. As everyone knows, unprincipled encouragement and praise will gradually make positive rewards lose their effectiveness and paralyze students' hearts; Letting go of mistakes will encourage children's bad behavior and weaken their sense of responsibility. Therefore, it is very necessary to formulate a scientific and effective reward and punishment system in school education. The system should be clear and specific, so that there are rules to follow, rules to follow, laws to follow, and laws to be followed, so as to cultivate students' legal awareness.

Primary and secondary schools in Singapore attach great importance to cultivating students' sense of responsibility, so that children can understand that everyone should be responsible for their words and deeds and assume their own responsibilities. School rules and discipline have a great deterrent effect on students.

The rules and regulations of some of our schools are sound, but they have not played a role. The key lies in poor implementation. Compared with Singapore, we protect students too much and weaken their sense of responsibility. We often forgive students for serious mistakes again and again. To some extent, this is actually cultivating their bad habits and conniving at their evil deeds. The present school management system is not too strict, but too loose. Often, when a student is punished by the school, parents will go to the school to plead, or use various relationships to persuade the school, and in the end, they often go away. As everyone knows, this practice is very unfavorable to the growth of children.

(3) Schools and society, teachers and parents should maintain close interaction and cooperation.

The good effect of legal education in primary and secondary schools in Singapore also benefits from the universal participation of society and families. Primary and secondary education in Singapore is relatively open, and schools are closely linked with families and society. As mentioned above, in the education of students with bad behavior, schools, parents and judicial departments maintain good communication and cooperation. If primary and secondary school students involved in criminal responsibility are admitted, during the period of admission, the admitted students will attend classes as usual at school during the day and are not allowed to go home at night, and must return to the shelter. Parents understand and shelters cooperate. After the reception, students attend classes normally, but they must go home before 6 pm, and then they can't go out. Cut off the contact and contact between students and bad elements outside the school, and parental supervision is in place. Every three months, the Ministry of Education will come to the school to ask about the education of the admitted students. In the whole process of education, schools, parents and society rarely shirk each other.

In China, with the in-depth development of education reform, school education is increasingly moving from closed to open. Schools and teachers must re-recognize the role, position and responsibility of parents in the process of education and change the management mode and working mode of schools. Home-school cooperation and joint efforts will surely promote the all-round development of students.
