Integrated Program

A large group of educators is calling for a complete socialization of the high school program by the use of a core curriculum. This curriculum would take the common experiences of all fields of subject matter and combine them into an “integrated program” in which the pupil would learn by using all knowledge indiscriminately. Most forward looking mathematics teachers agree that we must stop compartmentalizing our mathematics by subjects and years, and proceed to fuse algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and analytics, into a single complete development of the science of number and space. But the core curriculum goes one better and includes not only this, but a fusing of all subjects into one single complete development of knowledge that will function in the life of every individual. Professor Fehr1 feels that mathematics teachers are afraid of this because they are afraid the good ship mathematics may be lost in the process. The educators who are proposing the core curriculum are intelligent people. Let us then be perfectly frank and seek to learn if socialization by the use of the core curriculum is a desirable program in the high school, and if it is, how it can be achieved.

The text of the articleis a proposal of a way of working in the new high school (after primary school), whichfunctions in the conditions set by the structural and curriculum reform. The author distances himself from the concept of historical and literary education, at the same time showing the inability to maintain the problematic order in literary and cultural education under the conditions of implementing the obligation of the core curriculum. In opposition to the sanctioned model of education in the education of high school students, it proposes a concept of work that, on the one hand, respects the curriculum requirements, and on the otherhand, meets the authentic needs and expectations of students, and includes broadly understood popular culture in the scope of teaching interests. Such thinking is exemplified by the presentation of anexcerpt from the work plan implemented in the firstgrades of the new high school. It is provided with a commentary that reveals the difficulties of such an organization of literary and cultural education in the current curriculum conditions.

Vocational High Schools

The subject of this paper is vocational education in vocational high schools in Poland and its aim is to argue that presently vocational high schools fail at providing their students with qualifications necessary to work in their profession of choice. The problem is important as the unemployment rate among young people is high while the employers claim there is a deficit of qualified workforce on the labour market. The paper presents the results of a survey carried out among vocational high school students which showed that 95 % of students believe that 4 weeks of apprenticeships is insufficient. Given the opinions of the employers and the results of the survey among the vocational high school students, it seems surprising that the changes made to the vocational core curriculum were not more substantial.
