Pakistan's education system has been the focus of various reforms every few years, and a new exercise has been initiated recently through the National Education Policy, 2009. While the problems are generally well documented and stress on universal primary education fully justified, the role of economic relevance of education and training as a factor discouraging completion is not sufficiently emphasised. Studies from developing and developed countries highlight the strong linkage between education and training and employment, and the economic and social returns of employability of trained workers. It is argued that if one or more career based occupational tracks (vocationalisation of upper-secondary education) is offered at the upper secondary level (Class 8-10) as supplements to general education, dropout can be reduced. This will result in increased employability, productivity and competitiveness in the work environment. Co-financing with the private sector of a Rs 48 billion programme for practical on-the-job training is examined in the light of international experiences.

Abstract
We live in a society in which knowing how to manage money is a necessity, since it is required in our everyday life. In this context, financial literacy is a competence which people should develop in order to improve their money-related decisions. In order to analyse the contribution of financial education to this competence, we go beyond the previous literature in respect to correlation by using student fixed-effects and PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) 2018 data for 15-year-old students in 20 countries. Our results show that, in most of the countries under analysis, the financial education that students receive in the subject of mathematics may contribute to the development of their financial literacy competences. Nevertheless, the lack of an effective subject in economics is still an issue in most of the educational systems under analysis. (JEL codes: I20, I21, I28, and C10)

This report discusses about the primary issue of concern to the congress in elementary and secondary education. It further discusses about federal government strategies to support the education of elementary and secondary students in the United States.

Over the past decade, China's transition rate from lower secondary education to higher secondary education has increased significantly, from 80.5 to 93.7 percent. In light of this impressive progress, the Chinese government aimed at raising the gross enrollment rate in senior high schools to above 90 percent by 2020. Quality and relevance in vocational and academic high school education could be a key bottleneck in further expansion. The way tracking operates between academic and vocational streams could itself be a distortion for the sector's further expansion. Looking ahead, reforms in upper secondary education are imperative, given increasing demand for a highly skilled labor force and China's fast demographic change as the young population cohorts decline. The paper examines the sector's key constraints in access, financing, tracking, and informed decisions and recommends how the quality of the general and vocational education tracks can be further improved.

THIS COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOLS DEBATE, WHICH CONCERNED THE QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT CLASSROOMS SHOULD BE DIVIDED ACCORDING TO EVALUATIONS OF STUDENT'S ABILITY BEFORE ENTRY INTO SECONDARY SCHOOLS, RAGED BETWEEN 1944 AND 1970 IN BRITAIN. THE PRACTICAL LESSON HERE DISCUSSED FROM THE CASE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOLS IS THAT ANY POLICY ISSUE INTIMATELY CONNECTED WITH DEOLOGIES REQUIRES GOOD JUDGEMENTS.

The recent approval of the new Law that will govern the Brazilian Upper Secondary Education entailed a series of questions about its procedural strategy and about the very feasibility of its implementation. Issued as a Provisional Executive Order, it was quickly assessed and approved by the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, excluding from the discussion the social sectors focused on education. The necessary communication processes, understood as dialogical processes – crucial to discussing a matter possibly affecting the practices of the whole level of basic education – were not pursued, resulting in a Law debated solely in ministerial offices and in the National Congress offices of government leaders. ; A recente aprovação da nova Lei que regerá o Ensino Médio brasileiro trouxe consigo uma série de indagações acerca da estratégia como foi encaminhada e da própria factibilidade quanto à sua implantação. Nascida como Medida Provisória, conheceu rápido trâmite na Câmara e no Senado, deixando à margem a participação dos setores sociais voltados ao tema da educação. Os necessários processos de comunicação, compreendidos como trânsitos dialógicos – decisivos para o tratamento de matéria com o alcance de uma mudança de rota em ciclo do ensino básico –, deixaram de ser acionados, resultando em uma Lei cujos interlocutores foram os gabinetes ministeriais e as salas de lideranças governistas do Congresso Nacional.

In light of recent events in America, school districts are having to be more and more careful about how they teach anything about race. In a recent board meeting that took place in the Rockwood school district, members of the community were calling for books to be banned because they touched on race and used inappropriate language. It is important to teach uncomfortable texts about race, and there are ways for teachers to use these texts so that students and other school community members do not feel they are being indoctrinated into any new teachings. The text that I will use to represent what is being taught in the classroom is The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. I will argue that schools need to teach uncomfortable texts about race because it will help to create a more well rounded student who has empathy and is a contributing member to our democratic society. Using this more modern take about racial inequality I can discuss how teaching language arts has changed due to the language of young adult literature, the issues that cause books to be challenged, and how outside voices believe teaching anything on race becomes teaching the youth critical race theory. In this presentation I will use The Hate U Give because it teaches about race and social constructs from the African American perspective, and show how teaching uncomfortable texts about race helps students to see things from different perspectives.
