PREPARATION FOR CITIZENSHIP THROUGH SCHOOL WORK
*****
SCHOOLS CAN HELP TO PRODUCE RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS BY DEVELOPING A SENSE OF CITIZENSHIP INCIDENTALLY THROUGH A WIDE RANGE OF SCHOOL SUBJECTS, MR KENNETH TOPLEY, CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE TO REVIEW POST-SECONDARY AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION SAID TODAY.
THIS FOLLOWS THAT THE SUBJECT TEACHER MUST MAKE THIS A CONSCIOUS AIM OF HIS TEACHING AND KEEP IT FIRMLY IN THE FRONT OF HIS MIND, HE ADDED.
MR TOPLEY WAS SPEAKING AT THE ANNUAL SPEECH DAY OF MUNSANG COLLEGE.
+THE ORDINARY SUBJECTS WHICH MAKE UP THE SCHOOL TIME-TABLE CAN PLAY THEIR PART IN EDUCATION FOR CITIZENSHIP, HE SAID.
HE LISTED EXAMPLES TO SHOW HOW THE HISTORY SUBJECT CAN HELP STUDENTS TOWARDS BALANCED JUDGEMENT HOW GEOGRAPHY LESSONS CAN LEAD STUDENTS TO SEE THE WORLD AS AN ECONOMICALLY INTERDEPENDENT WHOLE- AND HOW LEARNING OF LANGUAGE CAN HELP TO DEVELOP CLEAR AND LOGICAL THINKING, ALL OF WHICH ARE USEFUL PREPARATION AND TRAINING FOR CITIZENSHIP.
+ IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT THAT STUDENTS WHO SPECIALISES IN MATHEMATICS AND THE SCIENCES SHALL NOT LEAVE SCHOOL, LEARNED IN THE IR OWN LITTLE COMPARTMENT BUT IGNORANT AND UNEDUCATED IN ALL MATTERS OF GENERAL INTEREST AND CULTURE, MR TOPLEY SAID.
SCHOOLS MUST ALSO FIND TIME FOR STUDENTS TO CONDUCT INTELLIGENT DISCUSSIONS OF CURRENT AFFAIRS, HE SAID, SO THAT THEY WOULD REALISE THE IMPORTANCE OF LOCAL AND WORLD EVENTS.
