Recently, O’Level and A’Level students at IFAK were explained to the school’s Rules and Regulations, as well as Don Bosco’s renowned “Preventive System” of education. This system, rooted in reason, religion, and loving kindness, plays a central role in guiding the discipline and growth of students at IFAK.
The Preventive System works by making the rules and expectations clear to all students. Educators, referred to as assistants, are tasked with closely observing the students, not in a harsh or strict manner, but as loving mentors. These educators are always present, ready to advice, and correct students with kindness. The goal is to create an environment where students are guided so well that they are almost unable to make mistakes.
One of the key principles of the Preventive System is the development of self-discipline. By placing students under the gentle, fatherly guidance of the staff, the system emphasizes self-control and personal responsibility.
The assistants lead by example, offering corrections and guidance without resorting to violence or harsh punishment.
At the heart of the Preventive System is the belief in correction through love, not fear. Students are encouraged to grow in both character and spirit, always under the watchful and supportive eyes of their educators.
This method reflects the school’s commitment to cultivating a positive and nurturing learning environment, where discipline is built on mutual respect and trust.
This system helps students understand the expectations at IFAK and how they are meant to navigate their education with a strong sense of personal discipline, guided by caring educators who prioritize their growth and well-being.
