Anglo-Chinese School founded in 1886, was selected by the Ministry of Education in 1988 to be one of the 17 pilot schools in Singapore to evolve and implement its own Pastoral Care and Career Guidance (PCCG) system, incorporating both structure and program. A horizontal PCCG structure was formulated and a whole school approach was adopted. The school believes that young people in our society need to be better educated, trained for adult life and provided with a range of opportunities, information and guidance to enable them to make sound, considered decisions upon leaving school. Detailed lesson plans on PCCG topics covering five key areas — self awareness, personal skills, interpersonal relationships, health and hygiene and career guidance were written and used during formal classroom time. Additional out-of-school programs called co-curricular activities reinforced the formal contact time. This article explores issues associated with rationale, implementation, organisation, program, integration of PCCG, resources, staff training and the manner in which PCCG successfully supports the total school.

Theory Of Multiple Intelligences

Professor Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences believes that human intelligence is composed of at least eight abilities such as language intelligence, mathematical logic intelligence, and introspective intelligence. Introspective intelligence is the individual's recognition of self's behavior and psychological state. It is very important for personal self-understanding and constructing a correct self. It plays a significant role in human learning, employment and development The development level of self-cognition is different at different stages. The article compiles a questionnaire based on the characteristics of Campbell's self-cognition.By collating and analyzing the data collected in the questionnaire, the basic status of self-knowledge of Chinese college students in the emerging stage can be obtained: College students' self-awareness is maturing, but self-awareness is high; College students have average emotional management skills, poor emotional expression, and emotional fluctuations; Undergraduates have clear learning goals, but their self-fulfilling channels are confused; College students have their own value system, but the values are immature; Career ideals are seriously ahead of schedule, not in line with professional abilities. The countermeasures to improve college students' self-cognition are: Educate students to build good interpersonal relationships; Strengthen the education of college students' self-awareness and strengthen career guidance; Create a good and positive mood; Educate students to strengthen self-improvement strategies in multiple ways and promote the healthy and harmonious development of college students.

This paper discusses the imperatives and issues in implementing the pastoral care and career guidance project which began in 1988 in Singapore schools from a Ministry of Education perspective. In the context of this discussion, it also highlights the various issues that affect the development of career guidance in Singapore schools. The career guidance initiative aims to meet the growing need for career guidance for pupils in schools, and the desire to enhance productivity by maximising limited human resources, through a better understanding of self, opportunities available, the world of work and lifelong learning. The school is the best place to begin this important process of human resource development by providing appropriate career guidance to pupils.

The Disabled

The Problem Persons with disabilities (PWD) are regarded as “the Other” and are sequestered from “normative” society because of their “Otherness.” “Othering” results in discrimination and the systemic preclusion of PWD. Ableism is the belief that being without a disability, impairment, or chronic illness is the norm. The notion that people without disabilities are the norm and are inherently superior is accepted without critique by those that advocate for authentic leadership. This privileges ableism and furthers the “Othering” of PWD within a leadership style intended to promote self-awareness, beliefs and ethics, and interpersonal relationships. The Solution The disabled experience and differently abled voice must be restored through relationally “being” with others and authentic dialogue. What is needed is a shift from the deficit model of authentic leadership to a social paradigm of authentic leadership, welcoming of bodily and psychic difference. This will better enable both leaders and employees to craft an authentic profile in the workplace. The Stakeholders Leaders and those who seek to become leaders following an authentic leadership approach can benefit from a better understanding of how their ingrained belief systems impact those that they lead who are both “able-bodied” and “disabled.” Human resource development (HRD) practitioners and leadership development practitioners can use this information to deconstruct and reconstruct leadership development opportunities to be inclusive as an authentic leader.

Self Knowledge

It has been proved that after the Middle Ages a new philosophical and legal worldview started to shape, which ensured a significant development of the philosophy of law that enabled emerging individualism. In the philosophy of the Renaissance, the problem of individualism changed its vector from the objective world to all spheres of social life that led to a rise of individual consciousness, causing human’s discovery of itself as a subject of activity. It has been established that the changes also occurred in the type of thinking that moved from collectivist to new thinking focused on defending dignity, the value of an individual, showing interest to interpersonal relationships, respect to individual sense of being, increasing attention to the process of self-knowledge, awareness of individual notion of oneself. It has been proved that the Renaissance relieved a human from external authorities and gave him a space of freedom, in which new notions of human’s place in the world appeared: the role of the state in organizing public life, the importance of social and individual values in taking significant decisions. It has been found out that the reasons that contributed to the emergence of a new individualism in the Renaissance era, in our opinion, include: the replacement of Christian theocentrism with humanistic anthropocentrism; integration of aesthetic and moral ideas taken from the ancient world order; the exit of individual freedom of the subjective «I» from the category of universal, denying the fundamental foundations of the latter; growth of intellectual movement; formation of new economic relations based on the freedom of economic entities; growth of free market economy, raising the prestige of educated people; proclamation of the right to individual initiative, self-awareness; the rise of individual religious consciousness; affirmation of the priority of human nature over the immanent reality; human’s discovery of itself as a subject of activity and law; fast growth of interest to self-knowledge, awareness of individual notion of oneself, transformation of a view of human nature and its relationship with the social and legal aspects of life, significance if internal motifs of individual actions as part of social and legal evaluation of an individual, focusing on humanism. Keywords: individualism, individualization, individuality, personality, individual, Renaissance, freedom.
