This article examines the difference between the systems of education in Northern Ireland and on the mainland. For student teachers preparing for the Secondary phase, the isolation of Northern Ireland needs to be counterbalanced. Assisting students to adopt a curriculum philosophy very different from that which underpins their own recent school experiences requires both careful preparation and the support of appropriate classroom experiences. In preparing Primary school teachers to use music in their classroom two issues need to be addressed: the development of musical understanding in students with minimal practical musical skill, and the preparation of specialists to adopt the role of Music Co-ordinator in their schools. Account needs to be taken in the training of all teachers of the cross-curricular themes of Education for Mutual Understanding, Cultural Heritage and Information Technology. Finally, the author proposes a strategy for musical support and development of classroom teachers serving in primary schools.

Primary schools in rural areas of Pakistan have been opened at very short distance firstly due to small geographical boundaries of the villages and secondly to improve the enrollment of students. The small population in villages resulted in low enrollment of the students. According to rationalization policy of Government of Pakistan, the student-teacher ratio is 35:1; therefore, student strength of schools in rural areas hardly reaches 40; hence, a single teacher is allocated, and students in a school from Zero grade to 5th grade sit together in either one room or two and are taught by mostly one or two teachers concurrently This qualitative study was conducted in rural primary schools for girls and boys to explore lived experiences of male and female teachers in One Teacher Schools/multi-grade and to find out differences in teaching on the gender-disaggregated basis. The management of multi grades single-handedly is the toughest job.

AbstractThis article reports on part of a commissioned research study into students with severe challenging behaviour in primary schools serviced by the Catholic Education Office (Parramatta Diocese) in western Sydney. The focus of the study was on the prevalence of severe challenging behaviour and the nature of presenting behaviour. Questionnaires were directed to school staff and information was obtained from 41 of the 53 primary schools in the diocese. Using very conservative criteria, the estimate of numbers of students with severe challenging behaviour was approximately 1 per school. Students were typically male and were academically below average. The most frequently reported challenging behaviour (e.g., calling out, out of seat) was inherently minor in nature for the most part, but at high frequency this could be extremely disruptive to the operation of a classroom. More serious behaviours, such as physical aggression to other school students and staff, were also reported at concerning frequency, noting that such behaviours place staff and other students at risk. The present study adds to the limited Australian data describing students in regular schools with challenging behaviour by providing specific information on the classroom frequency of such behaviour and the academic performance of students.
