Improving the status and prestige of post-colonial secondary schools in a developing nation: The marketing approach     

Norrel A. London 《International Journal of Educational Development》1994,14(4)

In many countries of the Third World the structure of secondary education is dichotomized. On the one hand there are traditional grammar schools that predate decolonization, and on the other a new breed of schools has emerged during the period of political independence. Maintaining their traditional reputation for excellence, the grammar schools attract, but are not limited to, students demonstrating the highest levels of academic proficiency. They are the schools where children of the local élite are usually in attendance. The newer post-colonial secondary schools are usually attended by students of lower academic performance, the majority of whom come from lower class families. Post-colonial secondary schools lag far behind their traditional grammar school counterparts in academic performance. In Trinidad and Tobago some serious criticisms have been levelled against the newer post-colonial type of secondary schools. Their reputation and status in the local society have been low, and several efforts at melioration have been attempted by the Government, without much success. The paper therefore attempts three main tasks. It examines some of the major problems faced by post-colonial secondary schools in Trinidad and Tobago, critically reviews some of the efforts made by Government to improve the status and prestige of these schools, and suggests the strategy of marketing educational institutions as a means by which melioristic transformation of these institutions may be achieved. A speculative analysis of certain issues likely to be affected as a result of implementation of the marketing strategy concludes the paper.  相似文献

David Nicholas  Director of CIBER  Professor at  Director of the School of Library  Paul Huntington  Senior Researcher  a founder member of CIBER  SLAIS  University College London  WCE  BT  UK  Hamid R. Jamali  a researcher in CIBER  SLAIS  University College London  WCE  BT  UK 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2007,33(6):629-638

The logs of four universities using the OhioLINK journal system were evaluated for a period of fifteen months using deep log analysis methods in order to compare and contrast the information seeking behaviour of their users. Large differences were found, especially between the research and teaching universities. Methodological problems associated with making the comparisons are discussed in some detail especially in terms of defining online sessions.  相似文献   

Drawing Parallels in Search of Educational Equity: A Multicultural Education Delegation to China Looks Outside to See Within     

Jioanna Carjuzaa  J. Kay Fenimore-Smith  Ethlyn Davis Fuller  William A. Howe  Eileen Kugler  Arcenia P. London 《Multicultural Perspectives》2013,15(1):35-40

In 2004, a professional delegation of multicultural educators visited the People's Republic of China to explore how diversity issues are addressed and how students are prepared for entry into the international workforce. The delegation, sponsored by the People to People Ambassador Programs, observed numerous parallels to the American system of education, including the challenge of providing equity for students of minority cultures, especially those in poor rural areas, and the conflict between modernization and preservation of cultural heritage.  相似文献
