The current study seeks to identify variables that affect the career decision-making of high school graduates with respect to the choice of university (re-)entrance in South Korea where education has great importance as a tool for self-cultivation and social prestige. For pattern recognition, we adopted a support vector machine with recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) with a big-data of survey of Korean college candidates. Based on the SVM-RFE analysis results, new enrollers were mostly affected by the mesosystems of interactions with parents, while re-enrollers were affected by the macrosystems of social awareness as well as individual estimates of talent and aptitude of individual systems. By predicting the variables that affect the high school graduates’ preparation for university re-entrance, some survey questions provide information on why they make the university choice based on interactions with their parents or acquaintances. Along with these empirical results, implications for future research are also presented.

Grade point averages of 897 white university students representing 25 public high schools in Chicago were examined. Socioeconomic status and individual ability were taken into consideration. A comparison was then made of the scholastic performance of white students who attended integrated high schools and that of white students who attended white-segregated high schools. With no refinement as to ability or socioeconomic status, white students from integrated high schools performed as well as white students who attended white-segregated high schools. However, when the above average ability—above average socioeconomic status groups—are compared, the findings are barely significant (if P = .05). This leaves open the question of whether there may be some slight suppression of achievement associated with attendance at an integrated high school. More research is necessary before definite conclusions can be teached.

In this study we investigate Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) high school graduates’ academic performance in the first year of college and test whether their exposure to racial segregation in high school at both the school and classroom levels affected their college freshman grade point averages. Utilizing administrative data from the Roots of STEM Success Project, we track the CMS class of 2004 from middle school through its first year of education in the University of North Carolina (UNC) system. Our findings show that segregation among schools and among classes within schools compromises college achievement for students of color while offering no significant benefits to white students’ college achievement.

In September, 1972, a survey was undertaken of all students at Pahlavi University who had a grade point average of 3.00 or more as well as those who had a grade point average of less than 2.00. The survey of students' files in the Office of the Registrar, covered 3872 students, of whom 324 were in the first group (successful) and 730 were in the second group (unsuccessful). The third group was comprised of 355 students selected randomly from the rest of the 2818 average students whose grade point average was 2.00 to 2.99. Analysis showed the over-all mean of the high school point average of the successful group was significantly higher than that of the unsuccessful group. Girls in general scored higher than boys both in the high school and the university. The change of major fields of study was less frequent among the successful group than among the unsuccessful students. The “fresh” high school graduates were more successful students in the college. Students of middle socio-economic status performed better than those of high and low socio-economic status.

Brazilian Culture

Lawnº 10,639, sanctioned in 2003, provided a kind of stimulus for the accomplishment of projects and works that contemplate an educational character directed to the innumerable manifestations and expressions of the diverse Brazilian culture. Thus, through a dialogical relationship between the University and a state school of Divinópolis (MG), this project aimed, in the formation of high school graduates, to rescue the importance of black culture and the acceptance of diversity in Brazilian society. For this,the research focused on a qualitative approach andwe used as a method the literature review on the theme in question and the holding of meetings and workshops about samba and its historical-social context, seeking to elucidate the respective inheritances of slavery. From the discussions on the subject, it was possible to observe that a large part of the students was sensitized onsubjects that include prejudice, violence and racism still so prevalent in society. Moreover, it was clear that such debates and discussions can assist and collaborate in a reaffirmation of the students' attitude regarding black culture. It is concluded that the extension project collaborated so that high school graduates could constitute a different social perception of African descent and, at the same time, helped to rethink such expensive topics as the acceptance of the other and their respective differences.Keywoeds:Black culture.High school.Lawnº 10,639.Samba.

Until a year ago, statements that our high school graduates could not do arithmetic were dismissed as of no consequence, in fact, were almost not believed. But Admiral Nimitz's letter concerning the failures in arithmetic tests given recruits entering the Navy, coming as it did at the very beginning of the War, got people more “arithmetic minded” in a few weeks than had all the efforts of teachers of mathematics in our secondary schools and colleges in nearly twenty years. Suddenly arithmetic has been revived. Suddenly there has been a large increase in the number taking courses in mathematics in the secondary schools. Suddenly there has been a large increase in the number taking courses in secondary mathematics at the University. During the semester now closing we have had 3600 students in our department as against 3000 one year ago. This is an increase of 20%, though our University enrollment dropped from 15,000 to 11,000, and enrollment in advanced courses in mathematics suffered a large drop during the same interval. We have had 1100 people taking courses in secondary mathematics. We have had 500 taking intermediate algebra with background of but one year of elementary algebra.
