Not too long ago secondary school graduates could feel adequately prepared to undertake a college business curriculum after completing two years of high school algebra. However, rapidly changing requirements for students pursuing majors in collegiate business programs are placing new demands on the mathematical skill of students entering colleges of business.

The City

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.”

The study investigated beliefs of 121 high school students in Grade 11 about people who are ill with malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and alcoholism. The sample of Black pupils were chosen at random from two rural secondary schools in one region in the Northern Province of South Africa. Analysis indicated that HIV/AIDS was clearly distinguished from the other three illnesses by being seen as the least easily cured, having the most gradual onset, being the most contagious, showing the least look of illness, and the patients being likely those most blamed for their illness.

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.

“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.

Points Of View

WHAT I wish to say to you today is a general reflection on the subject of high school algebra. As a layman both in mathematics and in secondary school teaching, I can speak only from two lay points of view—that of the pupil, which meets you at one end of your activity, and that of the philosopher, which you encounter at the other. Consequently, I shall begin by talking about the futility and barrenness of algebra, and end, I hope, by reviewing with you its importance, interest, and charm. For it is a peculiarity of the subject that an uninitiate mind can usually see nothing in it but a dry, lifeless discipline, whereas the adept sees in it the apotheosis of human reason.

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.

Explore the Role of Educational Heads Regarding Secondary Schools: Perspective of Problems, Difficulties and Issues Syed Shafqat Ali Shah* Waqar Un Nisa Faizi† Abdul Majeed Khan‡ Education is a positive endeavor and a financial expenditure; generally considered to be a kind of training for life. The key objectives were (a) to examine the administrative problems of secondary school heads (b) to compare the problems of the secondary schools in the rural and the urban areas. The study population was all of the Gujrat District Secondary Schools. The research sample was 64 secondary schools, 32 of which were rural and 32 were urban. Out of 32 schools in the rural 16 boys and 16 girls were further educated. Similarly, boys were sixteen and girls were sixteen out of 32 urban schools. For the educational heads of secondary schools, a questionnaire was created for data collection. For the purpose of the analysis, the percentages are used. The key purpose of the study was to identify the administrative problems, faced by high school heads that were not in fact adequately responding to the needs of the students.
