The Objectives of the Wu-Chi School of Arts
in any given community is to have its classes
taught by 'local people' made up of:
|
|
| |
Full-time Instructors 1 per 1,000 students:
|
Providing a career in specialised
community aid work - using
Wu-Chi as a modern agent to teach
character development. |
|
Part-time Teachers 1 per 100
students:
|
| Giving leading
students part-time work as assistant
instructors, running classes that
benefit people within their regional
area. |
|
Volunteer Trainers 1 per 20 to 30
students:
|
| Giving
community minded students the
opportunity to be helpers in our
localised community youth development
programs.. |
| To achieve these objectives we will
select top-grade students and train them
to become specialised community aid
workers in their local area, thus
fulfilling the above teacher/student
ratios. |
|
| |
|
It
should be noted that over 90% of our teachers
and workers are community-minded people, who
work on a voluntary basis, receiving no payment
for the services they give.
These volunteers represent people from all walks
of life who have come through the Wu-Chi
program. They include those who have overcome
wayward or underprivileged backgrounds, as well
as parents, police, teachers, qualified social
workers and other professional members of the
public.
It is the voluntary effort of these people that
enables the Wu-Chi School of Arts to work so
extensively throughout the community.
FYI:
The initiatives of having 'paid teachers' is new
to the Wu-Chi School, and have been allowed to
help Wu-Chi spread globally.
Originally, under Mr. Arthur Cunningham the
Wu-Chi School operated solely as volunteer
organisation, in that all instructors received
no payment whatsoever for teaching. In
fact, it was common principle and a requirement
for all instructors to pay for the classes that
they attended as a teacher, as it was considered
that they learned as much (if not more) from
instructing the class as did the students that
they taught.
It was a "boast point" of Mr.
Cunningham's that he paid more money to come to
his own school than any student:
One becuase he attended more classes than any
one esle;
and, Two becuase he thought it only fair that he
paid more per class, as he believed he got more
out of each class than what he was able to pass
on to the students at that time. |
