Pathogenic microorganisms are serious threats in schools, where contact with many microorganisms occur frequently throughout the school day. Classrooms are considered an optimal place for contact between microorganisms and young children. The aim of the current study was to study the prevalence of bacteria isolated in samples from different sites in primary schools and to show whether schools are sanitized and clean for children or it is just the core reason for their illness. The study was done in a highly standard private school and a public school in order to study the effect of variance in the social classes on the cleanliness of the schools. Different colonies were separated and identified by staining techniques and biochemical tests. Thirteen different types of bacteria with different amounts were isolated from 176 samples collected from different surfaces. It was found that the number of bacteria in public school is higher than that of the private school. The distribution of bacterial strains isolated from the two schools averaged 37.1% for Staphylococcus sp. followed by 11.3% for Enterobacter sp. and then 7.3%, 7.1% and 6.3% for Yersinia sp. Streptococcus sp. and Micrococcus sp. respectively. Other strains ranged between 5.9% to 1.5%. Bacterial isolates were tested for their susceptibility by well diffusion test against three commercial disinfectants commonly used for surface and hand cleaning in schools, namely; Clorox, Renol and Dettol. The highest percentage of resistance was seen against Renol (50%) followed by Dettol (38%) and was identified to be Escherichia coli, while least resistance occurring among all isolates was noticed against Clorox (18%). Children in private and public schools are at high risk of catching serious bacterial infections and they are surrounded by a cram of microorganisms. The current research shows that new ways must be developed to improve our schools’ hygiene to make it a healthier and safer place to learn in.

Unobserved Ability

This article presents the first value-added model of private school effect in Ethiopia, using the unique Young Lives longitudinal data. I found a substantial and statistically significant private school premium (about 0.5 standard deviation) in Maths, but not in Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT). Private school premium works for both low and high ability children. The results are robust to sorting on unobserved ability, grouping on lag structures and transfer between private and public schools. Combined with available contextual data, empirical evidence suggests that the effectiveness of private primary schools may be due to more learning time and teacher’s attention enjoyed by students. I also attempted to contribute methodologically to the literature by directly testing the structural assumption underpinning value-added models.

Look Back

In this monthly column, Kappan managing editor Teresa Preston explores how the magazine has covered the questions and controversies about school choice. Although many authors across the decades objected to the use of vouchers to pay private school tuition, those same authors lent support to the idea of choice among public schools. Advocates of public school choice have endorsed various models for providing choices, from alternative schools, to magnet schools, to charter schools.

Promoting and improving quality education is one of the core missions of the United Nations at ensuring sustainable future; hence, the slogan: Change towards a better quality of life starts with education. This paper examined the place of education, gender and child rights within the current status of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Ado-Odo/Ota local government of Ogun State, Nigeria. Questionnaire and interviews were used as instruments of data collection. School children between ages 7 and 18 in both private and public schools formed the study population. A sample size, 1000 respondents, was drawn from the population out of which 976 responded effectively to the questions. The findings revealed that education and child rights remain in a precarious state in the local government. There was a limited awareness about child rights among children in primary schools and secondary schools; teaching materials and instructors were grossly inadequate in many of the schools sampled and basic needs such as water and electricity were unavailable. It was also observed that the number of enrolled male children in schools is 24% higher than the females. These challenges should be put into consideration when formulating policies for education in developing countries. There is therefore the need to prioritize education, especially female education, as well as child rights in general in the local government through adequate funding, investment in teachers and creation of awareness about the rights of the child.

Talking about the instructional facilities indicates the facilities available for the classroom teaching and learning of students. This is the age of modern technology so students want to learn with new tools and techniques. In this context, school should be aware on the management of such basic facilities in school. The aim of this study is to identify the instructional facilities in secondary level school of Banke district of Nepal. The study was based on the descriptive and exploratory research design. In total 674 students from public and private secondary schools were selected for the study. Structure questionnaire survey was done to collect the data. The result shows that comparatively, the instructional facilities were better in private school than the public school. Private school had managed the computer aided teaching system, separate computer and science lab better than the public school. Considering the better result in final exam, private school has managed the additional coaching class for their students than the public school. Public schools are service oriented supported by Nepal Government so government should be responsible to improve the quality of teaching, learning and infrastructure development as the demand of modern teaching system.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims at assessing the normative need for orthodontic treatment and the factors that determine the subjective impact of malocclusion on 12-year-old Brazilian school children. METHODS: A total of 451 subjects (215 males and 236 females) were randomly selected from private and public schools of Juiz de Fora, Brazil. The collected data included sociodemographic information and occlusal conditions. The esthetic subjective impact of malocclusion was assessed by means of the Orthodontic Aesthetic Subjective Impact Score - OASIS, whereas the malocclusion and the need for orthodontic treatment were assessed by means of the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) and the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need-Aesthetic Component (IOTN-AC). RESULTS: Prevalence of normative need for orthodontic treatment was 65.6% (n = 155), and prevalence of orthodontic esthetic subjective impact was 14.9%. The following variables showed significant association with esthetic subjective impact of malocclusion: female (p = 0.042; OR = 0.5; CI = 0.2-0.9), public school student (p = 0.002; OR = 6.8; CI = 1.9-23.8), maxillary overjet ≥ 4 mm (p = 0.037; OR = 1.7; CI = 1-3) and gingival smile ≥ 4 mm (p = 0.008; OR = 3.4; CI = 1.3-8.8). CONCLUSION: The normative need for orthodontic treatment overestimated the perceived need. Occlusal and sociocultural factors influenced the dissatisfaction of schoolchildren with their dentofacial appearance.

ANALYSIS OF THE SCIENTIFIC FAIRS OF THE SCHOOLS OF BASIC EDUCATION OF IMPERATRIZ/MA DISCLOSED BY THE NEWSPAPER ‘O PROGRESSO’: emerging thematicsANÁLISIS DE LAS FERIAS CIENTÍFICAS DE LAS ESCUELAS DE EDUCACIÓN BÁSICA DE IMPERATRIZ/MA DIVULGADAS POR EL PERIÓDICO ‘EL PROGRESSO’: temáticas emergentesEste artigo analisa as Feiras Científicas realizadas pelas escolas da rede de ensino da cidade de Imperatriz/MA, a partir do jornal O Progresso no período de 2000 a 2013. As feiras científicas têm sido um divisor de águas na rede de ensino de Imperatriz/MA, visto que desde 2000 escolas privadas e públicas têm realizado edições de eventos desse tipo, como a Mostra Regional de Ciências e Engenharia (MOSTRARCE), realizada por uma escola privada; e nos últimos dez anos a Secretaria Municipal de Educação criou a Comissão Municipal de Ciência e Tecnologia de Imperatriz (COMCITEC) para assessorar os professores da rede municipal na criação e desenvolvimento das feiras científicas das escolas municipais. Partindo deste ponto de vista e das experiências escolares, o objetivo do texto é analisar as temáticas que emergem das reportagens do jornal O Progresso sobre as feiras científicas das escolas da rede de ensino de Imperatriz/MA. Para tanto, selecionamos o período de 2000 a 2013 a ser pesquisado devido só existir na Academia Imperatrizense de Letras os exemplares desse período. Pelas análises realizadas podemos dizer que há uma incidência das temáticas, Ciência e Tecnologia; Meio Ambiente e Saúde, nas reportagens do periódico sobre as feiras científicas realizadas pelas escolas. Acreditamos que essa incidência pode estar relacionada com a maior preocupação presente no período de 2000 a 2013 com o meio ambiente, a saúde e o desenvolvimento tecnológico para a melhoria da vida das pessoas no Brasil e no mundo.Palavras-chave: Feira Científica; Ensino de Ciências; Jornal O Progresso; Educação Básica de Imperatriz/MA.ABSTRACTThis article deals with the Scientific Fairs held by the schools of the city of Imperatriz/MA, from the newspaper O Progresso from 2000 to 2013. The scientific fairs have been a watershed in the education network of Imperatriz/MA, since 2000 private and public schools have held editions of such events, such as the Regional Science and Engineering Show (MOSTRARCE), held by a private school; and in the last ten years the Municipal Secretary of Education created the Municipal Commission of Science and Technology of Imperatriz (COMCITEC) to advise the teachers of the municipal network in the creation and development of scientific fairs of municipal schools. Starting from this point of view and from school experiences, the objective of the text is to analyze the approach of the newspaper The Progress on the scientific fairs of the school network of Imperatriz/MA. To do so, we selected the period from 2000 to 2013 to be searched due to the existence of only the Imperatrizense de Letras Academy. From the analysis carried out we can say that there is an incidence of the themes, Science and Technology; Environment and Health, in the newspaper reports on scientific fairs held by schools. We believe that this incidence may be related to the concern of the period 2000 to 2013 with the environment, health and technological development to improve the lives of people in Brazil and in the world.Keywords: Scientific Fair; Science Teaching; Newspaper O Progresso; Basic Education of Imperatriz/MA.RESUMENEl artículo aborda las Ferias Científicas realizadas por las escuelas de la red de enseñanza de la ciudad de Imperatriz/MA, a partir del diario El Progresso en el periodo 2000 a 2013.

<p>In this study we examine how school leaders in urban districts have responded to the Chilean universal school voucher system. We conducted interviews with public district school officials and principals in Santiago, Chile. We found that school leaders in the wealthy public schools have confronted the market policy by implementing similar cream-skimming measures as private-voucher schools. In comparison, the poorer public-municipal schools are not able to select their students. The respondents in our study elucidated that parent and student choice is limited because specific family and student characteristics (i.e. SES background, test scores), as well as the family/student residence within the city (in a relatively wealthy or poor section of the city) influence the spectrum of opportunities a student will have and the school he/she will enter. As a result, the voucher system introduces educational opportunities for students who have the capital (pecuniary and non-pecuniary) to enable a move from one public school to another within an area, from a public school to private-voucher school within an area, from one district to another, or from a public school within an area to a private school within another district.</p>
