This study evaluates the effects of extended year programming for individuals with severe handicapping conditions. Over a 2-year period, summer educational programs were provided for a portion of the available population in a large Canadian city. Data were gathered before the beginning of the educational program, at the end, and at times within the subsequent academic school year. These data suggest that students enrolled in summer programming gain an equivalent or greater amount of skills per amount of time as that gained during the regular school year. In addition, these skills are additive to those gained during the regular academic year.

The objective of this study was to examine the disciplinary approaches being used in secondary schools for student violations of school cannabis policies. Survey data from 134 Canadian secondary schools participating in the Cannabis use, Obesity, Mental health, Physical activity, Alcohol use, Smoking, and Sedentary behaviour (COMPASS) study were used from the school year immediately following cannabis legalization in Canada (2018/19). Despite all schools reporting always/sometimes using a progressive discipline approach, punitive consequences (suspension, alert police) remain prevalent as first-offence options, with fewer schools indicating supportive responses (counselling, cessation/educational programs). Schools were classified into disciplinary approach styles, with most schools using Authoritarian and Authoritative approaches, followed by Neglectful and Permissive/Supportive styles. Further support for schools boards in implementing progressive discipline and supportive approaches may be of benefit.

Abstract Background Period poverty refers to a lack of access to safe means of managing menstruation. It affects the education, health and dignity of millions of women and girls globally. This study aims to identify the barriers facing menstruating girls in rural Uganda, investigate the effects of period poverty in this demographic and assess the need to implement a programme to tackle challenges identified. Methods A qualitative study was undertaken in a community setting. 42 Participants were selected in Bududa, Uganda using convenience sampling. School-age girls supported by The Shelo Foundation (charity no.1155142) who had begun menstruating and adults in positions of responsibility in the community were interviewed to gain a cross sectional understanding of the questions posed. Data was collected prospectively in semi-structured interviews over a four-week period in July 2013. Questions focused on access to essential hygiene materials, challenges faced when menstruating (with a focus on accessing education) and possible solutions to the barriers reported. Interview transcripts were analysed; the common concepts were identified, and conclusions drawn from the results. Results Inability to access sanitation products, due to financial poverty and local availability, was the main challenge highlighted throughout the analysis of the interview transcripts. The other common themes included lack of suitable hygiene facilities, absence of education on menstruation and the vulnerability of menstruating girls to abuse and stigma. Analysis found that on average girls were missing three days of school a month due to their periods, equalling 18% of the academic year. Conclusions Period poverty disadvantages school-aged females in Bududa, Uganda. Financial poverty, lack of education and stigma contribute to period poverty. An intervention programme including accessible sanitation products and education is recommended to tackle this gender inequality for girls in this population. Key messages A lack of sanitation products, subpar education and stigma contribute to period poverty in Uganda and negatively impact female education with menstruating students missing up to 18% of a school year. An intervention programme incorporating access to sanitation products alongside education is recommended to tackle period poverty in this population and improve women’s health and female education.

The present article investigates our proposed approach for subtitler training namely a Pedagogical Research-Based (PRB), defined as a professionally-oriented approach utilised in Audiovisual Translation (AVT) translator training to theoretically and practically strengthen the subtitling skills of trainees. The data of the present study is derived from an Egyptian television hard-edged drama entitled Firqit Naji Atallah (lit. Naji Atallah Team), Episode 1 (2012), subtitled by a sample of twenty MA translation students, ten of whom enrolled in the second semester for the academic year 2013/2014 and the rest (also totalling ten) did the same, a year later, namely for the school year 2014/2015. The article clearly reveals that before PRB approach is introduced in actual translation classroom, translator trainees (i.e. experimental group) are faced with tremendously difficult problems linguistically, culturally and technically which may hinder communication, thought to be crucial to retain for the target audience. The PRB approach is then introduced whereby the other translator trainees are equipped with some theoretical insights apropos of subtitling norms, well-envisaged in two scholarly AVT works by Karamitroglou (1998) and Schwarz (2002). Being aware of the PRB approach, the translator trainees could therefore do the translation task with minimal linguistic, cultural and technical problems. The study concludes with some pedagogical implications that will hopefully help translator trainees do translation tasks with minimal communication breakdown and maximal communicative thrust drawing on PRB.
