- Whenever individuals live together, discipline is necessary and, this is especially true of an educational institution. This discipline is formative, not repressive; It helps the students to develop self-control. This is the essence of a well-ordered and successful life. Therefore the school requires of its students to conform to certain norms of discipline, which are aimed at the personal growth of the students as well as maintaining a healthy school climate.
