Humanist Institutes

The role of a Humanist Institute, especially in the Benacian Union, is to educate and prepare suitable candidates, aged fifteen to eighteen, for leadership roles within the Nationalist and Humanist Party, as well as the wider community. These Institutes are highly selective, only accepting the best and brightest students from the preparatory schools. The education provided is rigorous and challenging, and is designed to produce graduates who are not only academically accomplished but also possess the necessary qualities of leadership, loyalty, and dedication to the principles of Humanism.

The internal structure of a Humanist Institute is hierarchical, with the Commandant of the Institute at the top, followed by Masters of Discipline, Punishments, Studies, and Indoctrination, as well as a Matron of the Wards and a Mistress of the Library. Each of these positions has several sub-positions or roles beneath them, such as Drill Instructors, Hall Monitors, Instructors, and Ward Monitors. These individuals are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Institute, including the education and discipline of students.

The curriculum of a Humanist Institute is comprehensive, covering a wide range of subjects, including classical studies, the common tongue, engineering, humanities, languages, mathematics, and the sciences. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a well-rounded education, preparing them for leadership roles in any field. The instruction provided is rigorous, and the expectations for students are high. The academic curriculum is complemented by a strong emphasis on physical discipline and indoctrination, which includes instruction in the principles of Humanism, behavioural therapy, and political education.

In addition to the academic curriculum, students are also required to participate in various extracurricular activities, such as athletics, military training, and leadership development. These activities are designed to develop the students' physical and mental abilities, as well as their sense of loyalty and dedication to the community.

W ithin the Benacian Union, Humanist Institutes are also responsible for the selection of students to be retained by the Guild of Academicians and inducted into the halls of the Benacian Academy. The selection process is highly competitive, and only the most talented and dedicated students are accepted. Those who graduate from a Humanist Institute and are selected for the Academy are considered to be among the elite of the Benacian Union, and are destined for leadership roles in the Humanist Movement and the Union-State.

Master of Discipline

Humanist Institute holds a crucial role in the education and development of students. The primary function of the Master and his subordinates is to ensure that students adhere to the strict code of conduct and discipline that is expected of them. This includes enforcing rules and regulations, as well as implementing and administering discipline for any infractions.

One of the primary methods used by the Master of Discipline and his subordinates is the use of drill, exercise, and paramilitary training. These activities are designed to instill discipline, physical fitness, and a sense of loyalty and dedication to the community in students. The drill and exercise programs are designed to develop the students' physical abilities, while the paramilitary training focuses on developing their leadership, teamwork and combat skills.

Another method used by the Master of Discipline and his subordinates is the use of hall monitors. These monitors are responsible for maintaining order and discipline in the dormitories and other common areas of the Institute. They are responsible for enforcing rules and regulations, as well as identifying and reporting any infractions.

The Master of Discipline and his subordinates also play an important role in maintaining the security and safety of the Institute. They are responsible for the supervision and management of the security personnel, including the Drill Instructor, Physical Discipline Instructor, and Security Officer. These individuals are responsible for the management of students who are being held in detention, as well as the enforcement of security protocols throughout the Institute.

The Master of Discipline is also responsible for the selection and training of students for the Humanist Vanguard group. This group is an elite organization of students who are selected for their physical, intellectual and leadership abilities. The Vanguard group is responsible for providing security and protection to the Institute and the community, and their training is focused on developing their leadership, teamwork, and combat skills.

Severe instances of disciplinary infractions in a Humanist Institute can be referred to the Master of Punishments for corrective action. The Master of Discipline and his subordinates are responsible for enforcing discipline and maintaining order within the Institute, but in cases where infractions are particularly severe or repeat offenders, they may refer the student to the Master of Punishments.

Master of Punishments

The Master of Punishments in a Humanist Institute holds a crucial role in the education and development of students. The primary function of the Master and his subordinates is to ensure that students adhere to the strict code of conduct and discipline that is expected of them. This includes enforcing rules and regulations, as well as implementing and administering punishments for any infractions.

These measures are designed to correct and reform the behavior of students who have violated the rules of the Institute. These measures can include, but are not limited to, detention, extra work assignments, loss of privileges, and counseling. The goal of corrective measures is to help students understand the consequences of their actions and to encourage them to make better choices in the future.

Another method used by the Master of Punishments and his subordinates is the use of disciplinary measures. These measures are designed to punish students for more serious infractions of the rules. Disciplinary measures can include, but are not limited to, suspension, expulsion, and in some cases, physical punishment. The goal of disciplinary measures is to act as a deterrent for future infractions, and to send a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated.

The Master of Punishments and his subordinates also play an important role in maintaining the security and safety of the Institute. They are responsible for the supervision and management of the security personnel, including the Corrections Officer, Custody Officer, and Wardens. These individuals are responsible for the management of students who are being held in detention, as well as the enforcement of security protocols throughout the Institute.

They work closely with the Master of Studies and his instructors to ensure that students are receiving the instruction and guidance they need to succeed. This includes monitoring student progress, providing feedback and support, and working to identify and address any issues that may be preventing students from reaching their full potential.
