A group of students at the Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade were given a trip as part of their farewell party....to a prison.
Some 100-plus finance and economics majors, future bankers and security and funds workers, were taken on a half-day trip to the Shanghai's Qingpu prison.
Arrangements were made for them to meet a 30-something inmate and former loan officer at the Bank of Shanghai who dipped into public accounts during the booming stock markets. The man was serving a nine year sentence for stealing in excess of 100 million yuan in public funds.
"We wish to prepare graduates for a good work start and alert them with a new, vivid and most effective educational approach. Such cases seem to be relevant for young graduates,
especially those who are going to work in banks and other financial institutes. It's much more effective than monotonous preaching in class."
I took my kids to visit a prison when they were little fellows. I agree. It's a very effective approach.
What do you think?
