2.      Education in our school is student-oriented and attaches importance to morality.

To cultivate students well is the goal and purpose of our school. To be a successful student, one should first be a successful person. Therefore, our school attaches more importance to moral education.

(1)     Develop the Yangzhou-High-School spirit, teach students to have a sense of responsibility

The essence of Yangzhou-High-School spirit is to be an up-right person, a person responsible for society. We try to make students aware of the traditional culture and spirit of our school by showing them around the Shuren Hall and school history exhibition hall and visit some alumni. For example, in June, 2006, Yemao, who graduated from our school in 1995, was elected trustee of the Board of Cornel University of USA became the first Chinese elected trustee of the Board in the Evergreen State College. Shi Yonghui, having graduated from our school in 1998, achieved great scientific fruits on cotton genes after great efforts. His findings have made great contributions to the improvement of the production quality and quantity of our country. By learning from these examples, students are developing their love and respect for our school and our country. They begin to think about the responsibility for society and become more enthusiastic about life and study.

(2)   Make use of every positive factor and construct an effective moral education network

The President of the Student Union is determined by democratic election. The annual election is organized by the Student Administration Department and the Student Union. The student candidates exhibit their personal information in the school windows. Then, they each make a speech. Finally, all students in our school vote for their ideal president. The whole election process is superintended by parent representatives. So a new round of Student Union is coming into being. The voting process develops students’ sense of mastering and management.

Many kinds of scholarships are set up. Our school has set up 9 kinds of scholarships sponsored by some old alumni and social industry, which can add up to 400,000 RMB. 20% of the students benefit from these scholarships to ensure that they will finish their high school education successfully. Besides, the care and love they received will help them develop sympathy for others.

We also have Parents Committee, which is made up of parents of different social backgrounds. The committee is to better coordinate the relationship among school, parents and students.
