This survey aims to evaluate the social promotion of class-repeating students, applied with the changes in regulations made by the TRNC Ministry of National Education, for promotion to a higher grade from the viewpoints of Ministry of Education and school administrators, parents, teachers and students. For this survey, the semi-structured qualitative interviews were used. A total of 100 participants were interviewed, including school administrators, teachers and students in a high school. Based on the findings, we concluded that social promotion of the failed students to a higher grade is a defective practice. Also, it is hard in Cyprus to try to fulfill learning deficiencies in the higher grade. Lastly, the ongoing practice of social promotion enforced in recent years was favoured, because the authorities aimed at preventing possible overcrowding in lower grades rather than meeting the requirements of contemporary educational system. Thus, this educational policy in concern has numerous disadvantages. Keywords: class passing, Ministry of Education, school administrators, teachers, parent.

Grade Progression

<p>This paper evaluates the effect of relaxing promotion criteria in early primary school on grade delay in later years. Exploiting variation in primary school repetition policies across Brazilian municipalities, we find that social promotion in junior primary years reduces grade delay, and that some of this reduction persists through the transition to senior primary school. Cohorts of twelve-year-old students who have been exposed to the social promotion policy since they were seven have almost 5 percentage points fewer members who are delayed a year or more in their studies than do similar cohorts who faced the threat of retention every year. We also find that, when the option is available, students sort across schools in response to the policy in a way consistent with negative selection into social promotion.</p>

The article examines how the mechanism of local Leisure Cards (LCs) operated by local authorities in England and Wales interestingly combine both commercial and social marketing functions. However, they could be much more potent in promoting sport in a sedentary and obesogenic society. Methods include national survey, case studies, and policy analysis. The article describes the quasicommercial marketing of the residents' tier of LCs, using loyalty devices, and the social marketing tier to attract deprived groups. It shows how tokenistic most card operations are, with few dedicated resources, and how the most effective cards carefully segment and target their markets; they offer a choice of sport, arts, and commercial activities, thereby attracting female and older users. The article argues that improved resources and clearer strategies could help usage of facilities and make a better contribution to very challenging government targets for increasing participation. It ponders the conundrum as to why social marketing has not been seen as useful in a field well used to commercial marketing. The article suggests that, unusually, LCs can combine commercial benefits to public leisure providers, and wider social benefits to frequently excluded groups. Although many cities offer tourists packages of discounts, and some social promotion program, there seems little or no research on their impact or efficacy in what is the most free-choice area of social life.

The 19Th Century

On the island of La Palma, the surname De las Casas is an example of a bourgeoisie that has evolved, over three generations, from rustic and tenant farmers of the island’s oligarchy, in the second half of the 18th century, to urban, commercial and dedicated to the liberal professions in the 19th century. This article is based on the «Antonino Pestana Rodríguez» documentary collection (El Museo Canario) to study some aspects of the social and private life of the lawyer Antonio de las Casas López and his family in the mid-nineteenth century. The result is a behavior of the bourgeois characterized by the coexistence, in matters such as the path to marriage, social promotion and family honour, of modern mental attitudes together with other typical attitudes of the Old Regime society
