Promising practices to reducing school dropout in Jordanian schools
In Jordan, policy responses to address out of school children and adolescents (OOSC) focus heavily on nonformal education (NFE) for those who have already left school, with less attention to reducing the incidence of dropout and chronic absenteeism in the first place. This paper addresses that gap through a mixed-methods study conducted in 2023–24, comprising a survey of 723 school principals, thirteen key informant interviews, and ten school cas…
Weak foundations in Arabic literacy
Infrastructure investment must incorporate Nature’s lessons in a rapidly changing world
Old ways for new days
This paper explores how Australia's Indigenous peoples understand and respond to climate change impacts on their traditional land and seas. Our results show that: (i) Indigenous peoples are observing modifications to their country due to climate change, and are doing so in both ancient and colonial time scales; (ii) the ways that climate change terminology is discursively understood and used is fundamental to achieving deep engagement and effecti…

Land Law Reform in Eastern Africa
Patrick McAuslan, law professor and legal draftsperson, ends his hugely impressive, but very expensive, new book on a distinctly sombre note. ‘The optimistic hopes which I and others involved in the land law reform process in the 1990s harboured have not been realized and the trend seems to be against their being realized’ (p. 238). He argues that what is now needed on land issues in sub-Saharan Africa is ‘the equivalent of an Arab Spring, peacef…

Landmarked
Landmarked opens with the author’s eye-witness account of the forced removal of a so-called ‘black spot’ in Kwapitela, Natal in 1981. This marks the beginning of both Cherryl Walker’s own journey in the strange world of South African land reform and of this remarkable book, with its rich mix of personal testimonies from victims of such removals, evocative photographs, and the author’s insights from her unusually varied vantage points of activist,…

Variations in health status within and between socioeconomic strata
Objectives: To analyse the variability in health status within as well as between socioeconomic groups. What is the range of individual variability in the health effects of socioeconomic status?

Setting: 60 US metropolitan and rural areas. Participants: 47 076…
Psychiatric education improves internistsʼ knowledge
Trainees were randomized into four groups: (1) control; (2) consult; (3) liaison; or (4) consult-plus-liaison to evaluate the psychiatric knowledge gained after two different training programs for primary care residents. Consult was a 1-month rotation on the Psychiatry Consultation Service. Liaison consisted of 31-hour workshops over 1 year. Consult-plus-Liaison refers to both training programs, experienced in consecutive years. An oral examinati…

Implications of Aerial Photography for Archaeology
This paper presents some of the background information considered necessary to expand the archaeological uses of aerial photography. Some problems encountered recording archaeological features from the air are discussed but the paper concentrates on the subsequent use of aerial photographs and covers the interpretation and plotting of archaeological features, use of different map scales, and outlines two schemes for the presentation of completed …
Free Secondary Education in France before and after the Revolution
BEFORE French Revolution, said Ferdinand Buisson in 1911, the of free instruction, that is, of education regarded as a service, was unknown. (1) He added that of course church had given free schooling to a few poor boys before 1789, and that of free education was now well established in France least for primary schools. It is well known that free education in secondary schools, at expense, was not realized in France until 1933. Buisson's statemen…

The Negro's Quest for Freedom and the Good Life
The goal of everyone in our democracy is to embrace the good life. WVhen we are faced with deciding whether something is good or bad, what kind of question are we asking? What is the relationship between something that is good and the mores and folkways of a people? If we find that whatever is regarded as good under one set of conditions may not be regarded as good under other conditions, are we therefore deprived of any guiding principles in mor…

Living conditions and socio‐economic aspects of community structure that affect the lives of children
A community consists of people who live in a more or less contiguous area and are engaged in such social processes and relationships as may normally arise in the pursuit of the chief concerns of life. From the earliest time, people have formed groups in order to secure with more certainty the basic necessities of life. Today, the individual's world of reaction begins with the family and expands to include the play group, the various school groups…

The teaching of current events
EACH generation in its turn will face problems and must be prepared to work toward their solution. This fact presents a continuing challenge for the schools to deal with current affairs. It is essential to provide an educational program designed to further the development of an enlightened public opinion. Schools, colleges, radio, and press share the responsibility for developing an informed and enlightened citizenry. There is no standard pattern…
The task of the social studies
Recently new and better suggestions have been made in secondary school curriculum building to solve the problems which confront the school today in education for citizenship and education for responsibility. These propositions take into account the fact that the young student is placed into a highly differentiated form of society in which he has to orient himself, and is confronted with laws which he must recognize if later he wants to succeed an…
