Tehran: School Mayor
The project of the school mayor is designed and implemented with goals, the most important of which are: characterizing teenagers as capable builders of society's future, strengthening the spirit of participation, responsibility and role-playing of teenagers at the school level, family and the city, introducing teenagers to collective decision-making methods, the city and the responsibility of citizens towards their city, the concept of citizenship, the concept of elections, and also the organizations in charge of city affairs, especially the municipality.
From the very stages of the initial studies, the school was chosen as the place of implementation of the project, because it is a social institution whose components and elements are in mutual relation with each other on the one hand and on the other hand it is in relation to the whole social system and although Its obvious function is formal education, its hidden function is the socialization of students. The project of the mayor of the school is a cooperative one that teaches young students role playing for social participation in the future; So that they learn how to participate in urban and social affairs and how to monitor the behavior of others through self-regulation. One of the most important things of this plan is to strengthen the sense of demand in teenagers.
