The School Programme: A Key Link between Contextual Influence and School Development
2018

Servicios educativos y sanitarios elementales en el medio rural: percepción social e influencia sobre la calidad de vida
2012
One of the main characteristics of rural areas is a higher quality of life. However, the basic aspects of the social structure, e.g. the basic education and health-care services, are barely responsible for the wellbeing of the society, although the necessity of improving their offer is continually emphasised. Consequently, it is interesting to discover how the rural population actually values the capacity of these services to intervene in their quality of life.

Demands and Challenges : Experiences of Ethiopian Rural School Teachers

The paper seeks to answer a question: ‘How do the teachers perceive their work situation and how could this be improved?’ The findings show that according to teachers’ opinion the current principal challenge is the tension between strict curriculum requirements, associated with annual testing, and follow-up, while the government insists that teaching should be more student centered. …
