Abstract

School plays an active role in constructing and crystallizing the identity of young generations. School also strengthens their skills and character, and plays an essential organizational role beside family. In addition to the original role of imparting information and developing academic and social skills, schools have been taking upon themselves to expand their duties, especially during the globalization era. Schools develop the tools and skills that students need for facing conflicts and fast changes in our world today.
