A new package of
regulations, aiming to protect juvenile rights was put forward for discussion to
the city's congress yesterday. If approved by the lawmaking body, the
stipulations will restrict schools from overburdening students and promote a
more fair student enrolling procedure.
According to the draft regulation,
schools or teachers should not increase course requirements above the national
or local standard, or add extra lessons, tests or examinations. Neither should
they offer reference books or materials, or gain payment for giving extra
classes.
Schools are required to fully inform the public of their enrolment
processand primary and junior high school students should attend school
according to their resident location, thus abolishing any selective entrance
schemes. The draft also covers campus security guidlines, nearby cyber cafe
administration, and the opening of school sports and recreation facilities to
the public.
