Initiation Ceremony and Child Political Identity Education

Abstract

The initiation ceremony is a large political ceremony organized by primary school. The purpose of initiation ceremony is to let the recipients feel oneself formally joined the sacred group, and confirm their identity of young pioneers, to produce a sense of organizational identity. This repeated ritual performance is also a way for school to make a political education for children. In this process, school should selectively filter children's experience, consider the characteristics of children's growth, and provide suitable space for children's moral life.
