The “General-to-Vocational Student Roughly Equivalent” policy is an integral part of the top-level design of China’s vocational education. The paper analyzed the value of the policy from a multidisciplinary perspective and reviewed its development path. According to the statistical analysis of the “General-to-Vocational Student Ratio (GVR)” data from 2009 to 2018, it can be seen that the policy has been implemented well. Still, the GVR has a trend of further expansion. Therefore, to ensure the effective implementation of this policy, relevant policy recommendations are put forward from stakeholders such as the government, secondary vocational schools, and parents of students.

El deporte como contenido dentro de la formación del alumnado de la E.S.O. y Bachillerato debe ser utilizado como instrumento educativo que contribuya al desarrollo del currículum, además de inculcar en el alumnado hábitos de práctica deportiva. Numerosos estudios afirman que parte del alumnado de los centros educativos tienen como único contacto con el deporte, el realizado en las clases de Educación física. El principal objetivo del estudio es analizar la percepción de la participación de los alumnos/as en un deporte tradicional (balonmano) respecto a otro alternativo (tchoukball), atendiendo a factores como el sexo, y la etapa educativa (secundaria y bachillerato). La muestra está formada por 184 alumnos de dos centros educativos con edad comprendidas entre los 12 y los 18 años. 104 alumnos/as (56,5%) pertenecientes a la etapa educativa de 1º Ciclo de Secundaria, y 80 alumnos/as (43.5%) pertenecientes a la etapa educativa de Bachillerato. La distribución por sexo fue el 53.8% (n = 99) chicos y el 46,2% (n = 85) chicas. El instrumento utilizado fue un cuestionario para analizar la participación en las clases de educación física. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizaron pruebas no paramétricas (U de Mann-Whitney y wilcoxon), se calculó el tamaño del efecto y, para determinar si existían asociaciones entre las distintas dimensiones se utilizó el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson. Los resultados mostraron que el tchoukball aumentaba la participación de los alumnos, respecto al balonmano, y no se apreciaron diferencias respecto a la participación en tchoukball atendiendo al sexo o a la etapa educativa del alumnado. Abstratc. At middle and high school education, sports should be used as an educational instrument contributing to the development of the curriculum, in addition establishing sports habits in students. Numerous studies affirm that some students at high school only practice sport within the school environment. The main objective of this study was to analyze gender and school year of students interested in a traditional sport (handball), and compare them with students interested in an alternative one (tchoukball). The sample consisted of 184 students from two educational centers aged between 12 and 18 years, of which 104 students (56.5%) belonged to middle school, whereas 80 (43.5%) belonged to high school. Sex distribution was 53.8% (n = 99) boys and 46.2% (n = 85) girls. The instrument used was a questionnaire to analyze participation in physical education classes. For the statistical analysis, non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon U) were used, the effect size was calculated and, to determine if there were associations between the different dimensions, Pearson's correlation coefficient was used. The results showed that tchoukball increased students’ participation compared to handball, whilst there were no differences between both sports by students’ sex and school year.

Objective: To understand COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Methods: January 6 through May 31, 2021, 5,121,436 US adults completed an online COVID-19 survey. Weighted data was used to evaluate change in vaccine intent and correlates of May vaccine hesitancy. Results: COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy decreased by one-third from January to May, with relatively large decreases among participants with Black, Pacific Islander or Hispanic race/ethnicity and ≤high school education. In May, independent hesitancy risk factors included younger age, non-Asian race, having a PhD or ≤high school education, living in a rural county, living in a county with higher 2020 Trump support, lack of worry about COVID-19, working outside the home, never intentionally avoiding contact with others, and no past-year flu vaccine. Differences in hesitancy by race/ethnicity varied by age. Almost half of vaccine hesitant respondents reported fear of side effects and not trusting the COVID-19 vaccine; over one-third reported not trusting the government, not needing the vaccine, and waiting to see if safe. Reasons differed by degree of vaccine intent and by race/ethnicity. Conclusion: COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy varied by demographics, geography, beliefs, and behaviors.

The term entrepreneurship has been seen from a productive perspective, tending towards the development of business ideas. However, today it is also associated with the strengthening of skills and attitudes on a personal level. In Colombia, Law 1014 of 2006 regulates entrepreneurship as part of academic training, at all educational levels. Despite it being an initiative raised by the government, concrete actions on the subject are being directed by teachers in classrooms. For this reason, the views of high school teachers, through the lens of qualitative research, are essential for exploring the reality that education occupies in this aspect, and that increasingly highlights some obstacles which hinder its progress. Therefore, the aim of this article – immersed in the framework of a doctoral thesis about the practices of entrepreneurship among high school teachers in public schools in Bogotá – is to expose which actions have been aimed at integrating entrepreneurship into Colombian high school education from the experience of teachers, as well as to unveil their criticism of the absence of the entrepreneurial process from the first grades established in the law, the role of the National Service of Learning (SENA) as an important institution in Colombia related to entrepreneurship in the classrooms, the lack of a more human vision that is less focused on production in entrepreneurship education, and the huge gap in teacher training in the area.

In this article, the educational attainment of Indigenous peoples of working age (25 to 64 years) in Canada is examined. This diverse population has typically had lower educational levels than the general population in Canada. Results indicate that, while on the positive side there are a greater number of highly educated Indigenous peoples, there is also a continuing gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Data also indicate that the proportion with less than high school education declined, which corresponds with a rise of those with a PSE; the reverse was true in 1996. Despite these gains, however, the large and increasing absolute numbers of those without a high school education is alarming. There are intra-Indigenous differences: First Nations with Indian Status and the Inuit are not doing as well as non-Status and Métis peoples. Comparisons between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations reveal that the documented gap in post-secondary educational attainment is at best stagnant. Out of the data analysis, and based on the history of educational policy, we comment on the current reform proposed by the Government of Canada, announced in February of 2014, and propose several policy recommendations to move educational attainment forward.

NOTE: THIS ARTICLE WAS PUBLISHED WITH THE INFORMING SCIENCE INSTITUTE. Aim/Purpose................................................................................................................................................................................................. The main aim of the study is to identify some of the barriers to the integration of technology into the teaching of mathematics in high schools. Background................................................................................................................................................................................................. Writing on chalkboards as a method of transferring knowledge is a key feature of traditional approach to teaching may have been successful in the past, but the minds of the current generation vary from those of the previous generation. Today’s students are immersed in technology. They are much more up-to-date on the latest technology and gadgets. Technology has certainly changed how students access and integrate information, so it plausible that technology has also changed the way students thinks. Growing up with cutting-edge technologies has left them thinking differently than students of past generations. This call for new innovative approaches to teaching that will cater to the students of today. Of course it is not wise to discard the traditional way of teaching that the past teachers have painstakingly created because of its past and some current success. This is why it is recommended to use this approach as a base for the new ones. Thus, if there is a way to transfer the advantages of this approach of teaching to new innovative approach then teachers should do everything in their power to merge the past and the present into one innovative teaching approach. Methodology................................................................................................................................................................................................. Purposeful sampling was used to survey a total of 116 high school mathematics teachers in the former Transkei Homelands. But only 97 questionnaires were deemed usable because of the way they have answered the questions. Microsoft excel was used in the descriptive statistics Contribution................................................................................................................................................................................................. To identify some barriers that need to be addressed by stakeholders, policy makers in high school education so that high school mathematics teachers will be able to integrate technology into their classroom teaching to meet today students’ learning needs. Findings...................................................................................................................................................................................................... The results indicated that the participating teachers need to be trained and supported in the use of the new technologies applicable to teaching mathematics. Recommendations for Practitioners.......................................................................................................................................................... The Eastern Cape department of education needs to consider the lacked of technology training as a barrier to the integration of technology into the teaching of mathematics and take necessary steps to address it. Recommendation for Researchers........................................................................................................................................................... There is the need to explore in depth whether the factors of gender and age also act as barriers. Impact on Society....................................................................................................................................................................................... The research will assist stakeholders, policy makers of high school education to identify the needs of mathematics teachers. That is to say, the skill sets, experience and expertise, as well as teaching equipment and classroom design and environment required by mathematics teachers. Future Research........................................................................................................................................................................................... More work needs to be done to check whether gender, age of the teachers have some effects on their attitude towards technology integration as well as evaluate the role played by choice of teaching methodology and teaching objectives.
