EDUCATION IN SOUTH AFRICA Education in South Africa is stratified into three layers: primary school (first 7 years);followed by secondary school (next 5 years) and tertiary education.1 Secondary (High) schoolculminates in a (so-called “matric”) Matriculation Certificate or Senior Certificate which is typi-cally earned at age 18 and is symbolically represented by the letter “M” in

How has the work of your Center benefitedfrom the structured, long-term inclusion of these individuals and how can we encourage morepractitioners of science, mathematics and engineering to get involved in K-12 program?” Dr.Sadler responded. “I like to characterize how scientists and engineers have contributed in twoways. First, many have acted as consultants, providing expertise that requires little change inperspective from their scientific research. Second, and by far, the largest impact has come fromindividual scientists who have committed themselves to education. They have becomeeducators. This has meant following the same approach they would use in delving into a newfield of science. They have studied the problems hard, read the

traditional thinkingand go through the pains of optimizing the programming approach.Since the situation has changed, research and educational challenges are to address the issue ofoptimizing the programming approach. Procedural-based programming was dominant forhistorical and economic reasons, not because it was the optimal approach. Also, the compromisesmade in creating hybrid object-oriented-lite programming were not optimal. We would arguethat early efforts at object-oriented programming were useful in that they incorporated coreconcepts, but they also incorporated aspects of procedural programming and tended to rely onintuition rather than a high-level inspirational model. 4 The reason for this was often to makebest use of available hardware

The preponderance of character educationresearch has provided several approaches and constructs mainly with children in classroomsettings. This character education research has focused on primary and secondary schoolingmainly due to character education focus by political groups and individuals [14]. Aligningvalues with certain character traits, teaching character through curriculum subjects, valueseducation, teaching virtue through literature, moral-dilemma tests and so on are all examples ofcharacter education approaches at the primary level [15], [16], [17], [18], [14], [19

There is much researchdone into how the socioeconomic status, SES, of a person is affected by in their later years oflife, but little research done on how it affects a person in their beginning years. The SES ofparents is what guides the child into what schools they attend. Schools of lower SES “tend tohave less advanced coursework, less curricular emphasis on reasoning in addition to basic skills,less homework, lower teacher expectations, fewer teachers with experience relevant to theirsubject area, and less positive disciplinary climate.
