The report extended literacy to “Five New Basics” - English, mathematics, science, social studies, and computer science. A Nation At Risk specified that all high school graduates should be able to “understand the computer as an information, computation and communication device; students should be able to use the computer in the study of the other Basics and for personal and work-related purposes; and students should understand the world of computers, electronics, and related technologies."That was 1983 - twenty- six years ago. I ask you, Ben: Has education produced students with basic knowledge in the core disciplines and computer science TODAY? Are we there yet? OR - are we still at risk for not producing students with the essential skills for success in 1983?
shahanahussain on 24 Jan 25Yes there is an age limit specified while applying for school admission in Gulf countries. The KHDA has laid strict guidelines mentioning that children attending all international curricula with the exception of the UK curriculum must be aged 4 on 31st December. And If they are to join a school in September to June academic year, they should be aged 4 on 31st July for all Indian, Pakistani and Japanese schools commencing their academic year in April. Most private schools are required to adhere to a set of requirements laid out in a policy document issued by the regulator. KHDA uses an on-line registration system which is updated by the schools' Admissions teams. In most cases numerous schools accept registration on-line via their websites, but some may ask you to visit the school to complete the application process. You will also need to submit supporting documents. For school admission in Dubai, most of the schools require a payment of a registration fee that is Aed500. In some cases, they charge an assessment fee as well.
