The establishment of links between SAGASCO Resources Limited (SAGASCO) and secondary schools in the city and country regions of South Australia has provided benefits to both the petroleum industry and to the students and teachers at the schools. Links between Penola High School in the southeast of South Australia and Hamilton Secondary School in Adelaide began in 1993 and have continued to the present. Feedback from the schools has been positive and significant. The two schools have overwhelmingly endorsed the links and have benefited both in curriculum development and in gaining a glimpse of industry operations that is not found in textbooks. The benefits from the link process has also revealed a cascade effect in which students and teachers have utilised information on the petroleum industry and incorporated it into reports, publications and texts that have been further used by the schools and the community, thus enhancing the original link process. Links with schools require stronger support by the petroleum industry to meet the needs of schools and to provide balance to the often negative profile of our industry in the community both in the immediate and longer term.

Three years ago a prominent professor of education in a large eastern University published a book entitled, “Secondary Schools in 1960.” The author assumes the role of prophet, and among his predictions for 1960 are the following: “A very few students in eleventh and twelfth grades take a course in Pre-engineering Mathematics. (But in practice most prospective engineers take all their vocational mathematics in professional schools—as do the followers of nearly all other vocations.…) In marked contrast to the earlier time, it is found that commonly not more than twenty percent of pupils take any mathematics in grades seven to twelve.”

Secondary School Administration

Secondary schools are educational establishments tasked with preparing students for postsecondary education and professional professionals for professions. Principals are the primary stakeholders entrusted with administrative positions in secondary schools to meet society's demands and provide quality education to students. The study aimed to examine the administrative function of principals in secondary schools in Mardan district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, in light of their organizational role at the secondary level. The study's goals were to look at the administrative position of secondary school principals and suggest methods for more effective secondary school administration. The research included 20 government male high school principals from the Mardan district. Easy random sampling was used to pick the study sample of 100. A reliable instrument was developed, validated, and pilot tested. The information was gathered using a unique administration instrument and evaluated using mean scores, standard deviation, and the chi-square test. The study discovered that principals play a primarily administrative function in high school administration. They develop the school's vision and mission, provided school facilities, organize the teaching-learning process, plan co-curricular activities, supervise school activities, identify students' needs and demands, maintain the school's records, ensure financial management, collaborate with parents and society, coordinate with educational authorities, track, and evaluate the school's activities. For effective secondary school administration, the study proposed providing instruction for new principals at the time of admission and capacity building for current principals in financial management, record keeping, staff management, service law, and ICT skills.

O presente trabalho apresenta o relato de uma atividade prática desenvolvida com alunos do Ensino Médio, visando a compreensão e a representação de conceitos geométricos e trigonométricos presentes em situações da vida cotidiana dos estudantes. A intervenção didática foi desenvolvida por bolsistas do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (Pibid), discentes de Licenciatura em Matemática, e pelo professor supervisor de área, que também era o docente titular da turma. Sua realização aconteceu em uma Escola Estadual, localizada na cidade de Cuité/PB, em uma turma do segundo ano do Ensino Médio, nos meses de julho e agosto de 2015. Com auxílio do instrumento teodolito e dos conceitos trigonométricos, os alunos conseguiram medir alturas inacessíveis de algumas estruturas que faziam parte da cidade em que residiam e da escola em que estudavam, percebendo, com isso, a importância das relações trigonométricas para a determinação das alturas encontradas. Observou-se que a demonstração da fórmula utilizada para mensurar as alturas contribuiu para que os alunos compreendessem conceitos geométricos e trigonométricos. Além disso, entende-se que a experiência relatada reforça a importância do uso de diversos instrumentos de medidas, como o teodolito, nas aulas de Matemática do Ensino Médio. Eles favorecem o processo educativo dos referidos conceitos, visto que possibilitam a contextualização de seu ensino em situações presentes na rotina dos alunos e dinamizam a ação docente.Palavras-chave: Altura.

“Who benefited more from the Transatlantic Slave Trade: Ghanaians or Europeans?” Ghana Ministry of Education and Sports:2008, 17). That’s the test question on the official government syllabus/standards for Ghanaian schools. The syllabus also lists the benefits of colonization and that list far outweighs the detriments. The lack of a broader understanding about the devastation brought on by the Transatlantic Slave Trade (TAST) is not exclusive to Ghana, but proves similar in the United States and likely throughout the world. Generally, the TAST appears lost in Trans-lation in secondary schools. The Transatlantic Slave Trade forms the most transnational exchange surrounding Africa and the African Diaspora. The TAST to the Americas relocated millions of people, killed untold more, treated them as property based on their melanin, caused many wars and affects the world today. To broaden our understanding of the pedagogies of the TAST, Ghanaian secondary teachers were interviewed, textbooks and the national standards were reviewed along with Ghana's role at the heart of the TAST with Cape Coast as a central embarking point. We discovered a lack of instruction about the transnational and contemporary impacts of the TAST at the secondary level. Through our study of the TAST’s instruction in Ghana’s secondary schools a need to expand how teachers inform students about the breadth of the TAST was discovered. This article will focus primarily on Ghana’s lack of transnational reach at the secondary school level due to the limits of standardized testing, the Ghana Educational Service’s syllabus, the textbooks utilized, assessments, poverty, teacher awareness and neocolonialism. This study also examines why transnational exchange in teaching the TAST proves essential in the secondary school classroom in Ghana and beyond.Ghana Ministry of Education.

Editor's note.—Professor Lennart RÅde is a member of the Scandinavian Committee for the Modernizing of School Mathematics and is responsible for most of the work in probability and statistics produced by this committee. He is a University Lecturer at the Chalmers Technical High School, Göteborg, Sweden. This paper reflects the type of high school course that is now given in the Swedish Gymnas or senior high school. The Scandidinavian countries—through the works of Cramer, Fisher, and others—have made major and important contributions to probability and statistical theory. It is of value to study the approach given in this paper, with current books in the U.S.A. intended for secondary school study.—Howard F. Fehr.
