Sometimes this change is known as transition, sometimes as transfer but for the purpose of this study we will use the term transition.

This typically involves a change of school location, meeting

rarely taught directly to students in school, despite it being essential for present day survival. If managing money is more of a relevant skill than calculating train speeds, why is the latter mandatory to learn while the former is not? That being said, in order to prepare students for managing their

The documentary, Secondary School, chronicles the daily lives of two prestigious secondary schools in Hong Kong, including classes, teachers’ meeting and parents’ workshop. This reflective essay will employ the perspectives of Weber and Marx respectively, exploring how they may consider current secondary education in Hong Kong.

interview assignment. In all approaches, new voices emerged to discuss the topic of community service in secondary schools to a specific audience. By completing the media report, I gained insight on what many people are exposed to when they want to read about community service in secondary schools.

In one way this vagueness is helpful. Scouring through the lives and decisions of a particular student is not as necessary when it comes to predicting the possible demographics that they will live in for the rest of their lives. Instead, we can look at the secondary school, as a whole, that they are a part of to

It is no doubt that the U.K. use rigorous testing throughout the educational career of children's lives, with official tests and examinations beginning in secondary school.
