The Napolas’ varied programme of extracurricular activities, ranging from semi-pagan ceremonies celebrating the National Socialist ‘political religion’ to opportunities for pupils to realize their artistic ambitions through music, art and design, and amateur dramatics, all formed part of the schools’ all-encompassing programme of ‘total education’. Pupils also routinely embarked on school-trips to foreign countries as far afield as Finland or Greece, as well as undertaking propagandistic excursions to contested ‘borderland regions’, and taking part in regular exchanges with US academies and British public schools. As they matured, pupils would undertake annual labour ‘missions’ (Einsätze), during which they would live and work for several months alongside farmers, miners, or industrial labourers. This chapter explores all of these aspects of the Napolas’ programme in detail. The aims of these activities were expressly political, bolstering the Napolas’ overall ideological effectiveness, as well as ostensibly supporting their claim to be furthering social progress, in accordance with the equalizing ideology of the Nazi Volksgemeinschaft. Once again, the NPEA were often more successful in this regard than other Nazi educational and recreational institutions, including civilian schools, the Hitler Youth, the Reich Labour Service (RAD), and the Strength through Joy leisure organization (Kraft durch Freude/KdF). In this context, the Napolas also offered their pupils substantial scope for the cultivation of individual self-fulfilment. However, although the NPEA programme drew upon the child-centred principles of the reform-pedagogy movement, its ultimate aim was to instil pupils with National Socialist values, instrumentalizing them in the service of the national collective.

Cyber Speech

Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District was a watershed moment involving the First Amendment free speech rights of students in American public schools. In Tinker, the Supreme Court affirmed that absent a reasonable forecast of material and substantial disruption, educators could not discipline students who wore black arm bands to school protesting American military action in Viet Nam. Not surprisingly, litigation continues on the boundaries of student speech, coupled with the extent to which educators can limit expression on the internet, especially social media. As the Justices finally entered the fray over cyber speech, this three-part article begins by reviewing Tinker and other Supreme Court precedent on student expressive activity plus illustrative lower court cases before examining Levy v. Mahanoy Area School District. In Levy, the Court will consider whether educators could discipline a cheerleader, a student engaged in an extracurricular activity, who violated team rules by posting inappropriate off-campus messages on Snapchat. The article then offers policy suggestions for lawyers and educators when working with speech codes applicable to student use of the internet and social media by pupils involved in extracurricular activities.

Background: national and international studies attach particular importance to the average socio shared environment as an explanatory variable intellectual performance in psychometric test. Objetive: To analyze the relationship between maternal education, the number of books in the home, the initial school level and extracurricular activities such as measures of socioeconomic, educational and environmentally with cognitive production WISC-IV level. Method: We worked with 154 children as 6 to 12 who attend public schools in the city of San Luis (Argentina). A sociodemographic survey designed ad hoc and the Argentinian adapting Intelligence Scale for Children Wechsler were implemented. We used ANOVA and Student test to analyze the differences between the proposed variables and the WISC-IV. Results: We found associations between the ducational level of the mother and the production in verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory and total IQ of their children. In addition, significant differences were found between the number of books available at home and the age of entry admission to initial school level with verbal comprehension, and total IQ; as well as perceptive reasoning and working memory and extracurricular activities, sports and/or language study, among other. Conclusion: the need to recognize the socio-environmental factors to develop a proper interpretation of the test production is ratified. In this context we propose an extended and integrated diagnostic destined to capture the complex plot by the combination of capacities from the stimulation provided by the environment and the development of specific abilities less influenced by environmental factors.

In 1937 and 1938, as the bombing of Guernica and northern Spain increased in frequency and intensity, thousands of children boarded ships to safer residences in foreign countries. About 3,000 children, with teachers and caregivers, entered the hastily provisioned Houses for Spanish Children that became their schools, homes, and families. Despite the horrors of war and multiple evacuations, oral historians have shown that overwhelmingly, although not exclusively, niños’ memories of time spent in the USSR were quite positive. Although the oral histories provide us with many remembrances from the Spaniards, the existing scholarship does not fully explore the Soviet documents to ascertain the intentions in creating and running the special Spanish schools and how they operated for the fifteen-year experiment. A close reading of archival sources show that Soviet authorities removed “bad” influences from the children’s lives and provided a school curriculum and extracurricular activities that modeled proper Soviet behavior and thought. Without adults around who could provide a counter-narrative, Soviets were able to control the remaking of these children into Spanish-Soviet hybrids once it became clear that the children would not be returning to Spain.

The Russian Language

In recent years, the situation with the Russian language presence in the CIS and foreign countries has changed. Statesmen of range of former Soviet republics in their plans to involve schoolchildren and students in further development of relations with Russia and encourage the use, the Russian language in their work, consider the possibility of the labor market expansion, closer cooperation in the sphere of education in Russian largest universities, and of science partnership with Russian scientific institutions. Europe, Asia and Africa face an increase in interest in the studying of the Russian language. Homever, its position declines in some countries, for example in Germany. Russian was a compulsory course in public schools of former socialist countries till 1990, but after the collapse of the socialist system, their governments abandoned this practice. But in recent years Russian language is gaining popularity among students, for example, in Poland and the Czech Republic. The Chinese, South Koreans and the Indian people also show interest in studying Russian language, literature and culture. En Africa Russian is spoken by the graduates of Russian universities and people who worked with Russian partners. Due to positive changes in the Russian economy, its business relations with foreign partners, and the need to communicate in Russian when working together, there is some increase in the number of foreigners who choose to study the Russian language. En addition, this is often associated with the desire to learn Russian language in order to embrace national Russian values.

Abstract The Poupança Escola Program, created by municipal law and part of the Prevention Axis of the Niterói Pact Against Violence, aims to encourage young people from low-income communities and members of Bolsa Família Program, to study and complete high school. To receive the financial incentive in addition to the annual approval, the student must participate in mandatory extracurricular activities offered by the Municipality, such as courses and workshops on financial education, health education, entrepreneurship, among others. Its implementation results from a collective construction, wich had the participation of Niterói Pact Against Violence's secretariats and the Program Supervision Commission, in order to stimulate the agreement and shared management. In 2019, of 281 eligible students, 231 pre-registered on the program's website and of this total, 72.29% students opened their savings account in a public bank. After analyzing the 2019's monitoring informations of Niterói's public schools, students who met all requirements were identified and the first financial incentives was paid, totaling R$ 41.400,00 (about $ 10,000). For that, it was necessary an intense work of intra-municipal articulation and partnerships: the Government of Rio de Janeiro and federal schools, strengthening the reduction of school dropout. In 2020, the challenge will be to expand the availability of extracurricular activities, through public partnerships and non-governmental institutions, with the aim of improving the professional and citizen training of young people, encouraging their autonomy and protagonism over their future and contributing to the reduction of inequities. It is important to highlight the potential for replicability of the experience in other units of the federation and also for other countries. Key messages As a public policy, Poupança Escola encourages low-income youth to develop professional and citizen training, contributing to the reduction of risk factors that influence youth violence rates. Extracurricular activities expand opportunities for generating skills and abilities, contributing to the reduction of inequalities in access for low-income youth.

AbstractThis article highlights the various sources that shaped the genesis of ordoliberalism. In the wake of the emerging project of neoliberalism, ordoliberals created a theory that contains a bundle of claims, which constitute the attempt to merge liberalism and its contextual embedding into a social philosophy that meets the requirements of both—economy and society. They were concerned with a new and properly interpreted liberalism. Not because they did not share the basic assumption of classical liberalism that individual self-interested action is the necessary driving force in advancing economic and social progress, but because they realized that individual action requires an embedding into a social and moral order to deliver public benefits. This insight proves to be the significant difference between ordoliberals of neoliberal facon and the exponents of classical liberalism: namely that the market economy operates based on prerequisites which it cannot itself guarantee. Regarding their very own historical context, this must be seen in light of their concern for the reconstruction of Western societies after the end of the totalitarian Nazi regime. The purpose of ordoliberalism has always been the “consciously shaped” economic order which manifests itself as humane and as functional. Moreover, if one understands ordoliberalism as contextual liberalism, it can also be significant for today’s discourse. In order to achieve this aspiration, ordoliberalism adopts a contextual approach. In particular, linkages can be drawn here to Constitutional Political Economy, and the interaction of these perspectives offer promising benefits for both “thinking-in-orders” traditions.

This paper provides an account of the paradoxes of teaching democracy, the paradoxes of being a citizen in a liberal democracy, and the insights that can be gained from the model of citizenship that T.H. Green promoted. Green thought citizenship was predicated on the twin foundations of the community and the common good. Freedom for Green means individual self-determination coupled with recognition of the dependency relations between individuals and the community. Green is noteworthy not only as a theorist but also as an active contributor to the development of public schools in England. A consideration of his arguments provides a model for educating citizens, addresses the paradoxes of democracy in education, and reveals elements of his philosophy that are relevant to educational issues today.
