1.2 Explain the Characteristics of the Different Types of Schools in Relation to Educational Stage(S) and School Governance.

The direct opposite of private schools is public schools that are free. These are generally poorly constructed and in lower income neighborhoods. These schools lack many of important structures to aid students in their academics, and even in most cases, they have less qualified people as instructors. Public schools are run by the government or its agency to my understanding. If that is the case, we are all witnesses to budget cuts that often go on in most countries including the United States. Such economic problems will eventually affect the public school system more than a private one due to private schools being managed by private agents who have many outside sources to fund the school. This is unlike the public ones which are managed by the government where anything negative that comes up due to its finances effects every learning institution in the end due to its dependence on the government for its funding.  Comparing this to Kozol’s article, we can tell that Fremont High School is a Public School located in a lower income neighborhood.

independent, catholic, public. As stated in Independent Schools Victoria (2016), one common misunderstanding is that “non-government schools receive more government funding than government schools. This is wrong”. This is a vital fact to be aware of before learning about why funding differentiates between low socio-economic and high socio-economic schools.

Education Act 1996 places a legal duty on the parent or guardian of a child aged five to sixteen years (known as compulsory school age), to ensure that their children or child attends and receives full-time education, either in a traditional school or any other means that is appropriate for their age, ability, and aptitude, taking into account any special needs they may have. The Act makes it a criminal offense for a parent or guardian to take their child out of school without authorisation from the school, and an offense for parents who are aware that their child is failing to attend school to not take reasonable action to ensure that the child attends. The offense of failing to ensure regular attendance at school is punishable by up to three months’ imprisonment and/or fine up to one thousand pounds.

I would like to study the politics of education in the New Britain Board of Education. I will research how they divide its power and its impact on public schools. On the Board of Education web page it states, “The mission of the Consolidated School District of New Britain is to create an educational system which will facilitate the development of students so that they may reach their fullest potential as productive human beings and be prepared to function effectively in a changing society.” In my research, I will analyze the BOE’s mission to understand its power structure. I will do this by using the interpretivist /constructivist philosophy to gather qualitative research. Additionally, I will use political party affiliation and

There are three main types of schools that students currently attend. The most prevalent school is the public school system. Funded by the government through taxes, this school usually has higher class sizes. The second is private schools which can have religious affiliations, and often do. However, that is not to say that all private schools have religious affiliations. To attend one of these schools, more often than not, the parents and students must have a higher socioeconomic status than most.

Foundation school – In foundation schools, the governing body own the land and the buildings. They are responsible for running the school, they employ staff, buy and administer most of the support services and they also determine and administer the admissions policy in consultation with the local education authority. The local education authority funds the school.

In the book “Social Problems: Continuity and Change”, I studied the chapter Schools and Education. This chapter is very informative on the different social problems that are occurring within schools and education in the United States. The chapter begins with the definition of education, briefly explaining how it is a social establishment that teaches people skills, knowledge, norms, and values that will be beneficial in today society. There are two different types of education. They are formal education and informal education. Teachers, through professional training, often teach formal education to students whereas informal education can occur anywhere, mainly in homes by parents or guardians.

In the 19th century, England was known for its horrific labor laws and employment of children. The rules had stated that an employer could schedule their under-aged employees to work in any time of day, as long as they provided at least 2 hours of education. While the public had believed that these children were being educated and employed, factory owners ignored the fact that mortality rates in children were rising and that the education those children were receiving was extremely poor. The laws intentions were to allow children to receive proper schooling because at the time kids working in factories did not have the time to receive a proper education. The laws on education for children in the workforce may have seemed to help families and

Independent Schools: These schools are private and operate as nonprofit run by a board of trustees. Their assets come from tuition and private donations. They can be religious but cannot be governed by them nor receive charitable donations from them. Several of these schools also have boarding capabilities for students attending that are not from the area. Average tuition is about 18,000 per year, for the boarding student about 35,000 per

“The 1870 Education Act obliged local authorities to provide primary education for all children aged 5 to 11.” (http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/children). In 1902, The Education Act was updated and confirmed that the Local Education Authorities also provided secondary schools; however the places available were limited and a fee was charged so a few working class children attended. Some of the poorer children had to take days off school to work to earn money to attend school. “An 1880 Act made education compulsory until the age of ten,

I have a great interest in education and school systems. Schools are one of the many non-profit organizations. Non-profit organizations are exempt from taxation. Schools are not created just to earn a profit. Schools are designed first and foremost to serve the students and help them succeed in life. Non-profit schools focus on providing quality education to students. Educational non-profits promote learning. Non-profit schools introduce new ways of teaching, learning and utilizing resources. Non-profits act in the best interests of the targeted audience; in this case, the students.

The school where this report was carried out whilst on placement is located in the metropolitan area, it is a state special school catering for students who have physical or multiple disabilities or complex health needs. There are 130 students in total, 36 teachers, 48 Education support staff, 5 specialist teachers, 3 on site nurses, and a therapy team of 4 this includes Occupational, Speech, and Physio.

In the past young people who were 16 years and over were expected to either leave school and start their employment or remain in school and continue their formal education. However it was noticed that there was a high level of unemployment in the age bracket of 16-24 years. To change the situation the government started a new arrangement called the September guarantee. This was aimed at young people who were aged 14-18 years old.

Some specific difference between these two types of school, separate and mix. Depends of different points of view because exists pros and contras in the two options. But actually the two options are good in different parts of the view.

Does your schooling affect where you would send you children for schools? If so is it beneficial?
