These approved schools exist in practically every country on earth,be they called by different names.
They are for juvenile offenders who have fallen foul of the law.
They are a step down from prison,since you can’t send under-age juveniles to prison.
Their aim is supposed to be to reform them and at the same time continue with their education. That’s why they are called Approved schools and Reformatories.
Discipline is usually strict or harsh in these institutions. And although physical punishments have been abolished in most EU countries,this probably still goes on in most other countries. But other forms of discipline are still in effect in our civilised nations. Like being locked up in their cosy rooms at night and adhering to strict time schedules.
