What will Disciplinary Councils do in schools?
Baku/19.10.22/Turan: The Ministry of Science and Education of Azerbaijan is going to establish special school Disciplinary Councils (DC). According to Elnur Aliyev, head of the Department of Organization and Management of General and Preschool Education of the Ministry of Science and Education, the creation of DC and the representation of parents in them will be mandatory. The task of the DC will be to classify the misconduct of schoolchildren according to their severity and apply proportionate measures of influence to violators.
Measures can be the following:
- teacher's view, non-verbal influence;
- conversation with students in a calm tone;
- warning;
- removal;
- keeping contact with parents;
- keeping a student at school after school;
- an appeal to a psychologist;
- yellow warning letter;
- orange warning;
- red warning.
Is there a legal basis for establishing a DC? Will this give teachers the opportunity to punish a student at any time?
Ilgar Orudjev, a member of the Public Council under the Ministry of Education and Science, answers these questions in the “A Difficult Question” program.
According to him, in order to regulate relations within the walls of schools, it is necessary to apply norms. “We have long proposed the development of various regulatory documents, and I think that they are necessary, if only because the school environment is a public environment. Therefore, the activities and scope of activities of the subjects of education must have a certain framework, i.e. be regulated by the rules,” Orudjev said.
In his opinion, an educational institution is at the same time a center of education. “That is why disciplinary rules must be applied there. The absence of hostel rules leads to the emergence of various negative phenomena and undesirable incidents in schools,” Orudjev said, adding that it is in no way about limiting the rights of students.—0—
