Although rural communities have pressing needs for educated youth, rural schools are criticized for training students with urban-oriented labor skills that facilitate rural-to-urban migration. Some analysts see such schooling contributing to the rural community’s decline. Educators and policymakers concerned about rural areas need to know what kind of school programs help retain educated youth in rural areas. Research on the comparative effectiveness of different curriculum programs in retaining youth in the community can inform the program development for rural schools. This report presents a study that addressed the issue with data from a national longitudinal study, the High School and Beyond (HS&B) of the National Center for Education Statistics. With two-level hierarchical logit modeling that decomposed the variance into school- and individuallevels components, we examined the post-school outmigration pattern in connection with students’ coursework (at the individual level) and curriculum program enrollment (at the school level). We focused on the effects on outmigration of the academic program and the vocational program measured at the two levels, adjusting for the effects of the local labor market condition and student sociodemographic background and test scores. We also introduced interaction terms to determine the specific effects of curriculum on rural school average outmigration. The results revealed that, controlling for the effects of local labor market and student background and academic achievement, outmigration was positively related to schools’ emphasis on academic programs and students’ high credits in the academic curriculum. To clarify the possible confounding relationship between outmigration and college attendance, we further analyzed data of youth that had not gone to college four years after high school. Essentially, the same pattern was found among this subsample of noncollege-goers. Implications for curriculum development were suggested based on the results and other perspectives regarding curriculum reform.

Grading Policies

The purpose of this study was to better understand how principals in rural schools are thinking about assessment and grading practices and if they anticipate implementing policy changes in the near future that may require increased support. Principals of schools in rural areas often face challenges that are significantly different from those of their urban and suburban counterparts. The researchers used a mixed-method survey to better understand if progressive grading policies were a part of the vision for principals of rural high schools, if they possessed conceptual underpinnings of such practices, and if they believed they had the capacity within their districts to lead teachers toward more effective grading policies. A high frequency of high school principals in rural schools said standards-based grading (SBG) was a part of their 5-year vision. These principals also showed relatively high mean scores of standards-based assessment literacy, and moderately high percentages believed they have the resources and capacity to support SBG. The researchers thus conclude that there is a high likelihood that many rural high schools will be implementing some form of SBG within the next 5 years.

Common diseases mostly occur due to lack of basic health information and knowledge to public at large. Therefore, basic health information and knowledge is very much important to reduce the outbreaks of different diseases especially in rural communities which is possible through proper education. Education is a natural and an inborn part of any community or society. High quality and healthy volunteers can be generated in a society by right education with full support of any kind of facility.The objective of this paper is to gather and identify information and knowledge about basic health from students and teachers. In this paper, first we study current basic health (information & knowledge) situation of teachers and students in high schools of District Swat (70% mountain rural areas and 30% urban areas), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. Secondly, find out the willingness of high school teachers and students for basic health information and knowledge using information communication technology (ICT) i.e. through a proposed “Virtual Education for Basic Health (VEBH)” model at high school level. For this purpose a pilot research survey was conducted in seven tehsils of district Swat which contained 119 high schools, including 77 male high schools and 42 female high schools.The respondents are willing to learn basic health information and knowledge through virtual and commented that it will be better for rural mountainous areas of Swat especially for female health. VEBH model will make the students aware about common diseases and ensure future healthy society.

Abstract Context: The success of any academic program, including athletic training, depends upon attracting and keeping quality students. Therefore, understanding potential recruits' perceptions of athletic training is important. Objective: To (1) gain insight regarding undergraduate students' decisions to enter or not enter an athletic training education program (ATEP), and (2) examine potential athletic training recruits' perceptions of the roles and responsibilities of certified athletic trainers. Design: We used a descriptive study employing a grounded theory approach to explore perceptions of the athletic training profession by college students with various levels of interest in athletic training. Setting: Athletic training education program from a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I research-intensive university. Patients or Other Participants: Forty-six undergraduate students (23 interested in applying to an ATEP and 23 who were aware of but not interested in applying to an ATEP). Main Outcome Measure(s): Data from in-depth, semi-structured interviews were transcribed and analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding procedures. Member checks and peer-debriefing techniques were used to ensure trustworthiness of the study. Results: Three contributing factors appeared to influence the recruitment of students to a career in athletic training: (1) a strong affiliation to a sports/team model, (2) initial exposure at the high school level, and (3) an incomplete understanding of athletic training. Conclusions: Awareness of how students are recruited into ATEPs is important information for our profession. Educators and administrators must create a comprehensive recruitment strategy using factors that influence potential recruits' decisions to enter the athletic training profession, specifically their association with sports and their experiences during high school.

Di pedesaan, biasanya sekolah negeri begitu banyak diminati karena biaya pendidikan yang relatif terjangkau. Namun pada kenyataan, banyak orang tua memilih sekolah swasta untuk mendapatkan fasilitas belajar lebih nyaman baik dari sekolah maupun dari pengajarnya. Unsur-unsur pendidikan menjadi penentu keberhasilan proses peningkatan mutu pendidikan dalam pencapaian tujuan pendidikan di satuan pendidikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeteksi pembagian cluster terkait jumlah sekolah negeri dan swasta tingkat sekolah menengah atas tiap provinsi di Indonesia dengan menerapkan model probabilitas Bernoulli. Berdasarkan analisis yang sudah dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa persebaran cluster menggunakan model probabilitas Bernoulli pada jumlah sekolah negeri tingkat menengah atas di indonesia memiliki 5 cluster dan banyak tersebar di bagian Indonesia wilayah tengah dan timur. Sedangkan pada jumlah sekolah swasta tingkat menengah atas di indonesia memiliki 6 cluster dan banyak tersebar di bagian pulau jawa. Provinsi-provinsi yang masuk ke wilayah cluster tersebut berarti memiliki karakteristik yang mirip yang dimilikinya sehingga mengelompok kedalam satu kelompok yang sama. In rural areas, public schools are usually in great demand because of the relatively affordable costs of education. But in fact, many parents choose private schools to get more comfortable learning facilities from both the school and the teachers. The elements of education are the determinants of the success of the process of improving the quality of education in achieving educational goals in educational units. This study aims to detect the division of clusters related to the number of public and private high school level schools in each province in Indonesia by applying the Bernoulli probability model. Based on the analysis that has been done, it can be concluded that the distribution of clusters using the Bernoulli probability model is that the number of senior high school public schools in Indonesia has 5 clusters and many are scattered in the central and eastern parts of Indonesia. Meanwhile, the number of high school private schools in Indonesia has 6 clusters and many are scattered in parts of the island of Java. Provinces that are included in the cluster area mean that they have similar characteristics so that they are grouped into the same group.

School Entrance Examination

English is a main subject of high school entrance examination in China. Many Students have learned English for more than ten years, but they are still unable to communicate with others in English after they graduate from middle school or even high school because of the poor oral English. With the advocacy of the new curriculum reform and quality-oriented education, many provinces and municipalities in China have introduced oral English test into the English exam of high school entrance examination. However, comparing with urban students, students’ oral English in rural areas is relatively weak, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for rural junior middle schools. Hence, rural junior middle schools need to take measures to improve the oral English of students. This paper analyses the problems of oral English teaching in rural junior middle schools from the aspects of teaching facilities, teachers and students, putting forward some suggestions accordingly.
