Robert DeLossa prepared a response for Head of Lowell High School Busteed. The entirety of the response is reflected herein. From: Robert DeLossa To: Marianne Busteed Date: 25 September 2019 RE: Response to School Committee Motion with regard to the change of Freshman location to FA for Lyceum Students With regard to the question of whether the decision to house the teachers of Freshman Lyceum students in the Freshman Academy reflected a change of philosophy underlying the Lowell Latin Lyceum, I can state categorically that it did not. The underlying philosophy of the LLL remains the same as it has since the beginning of the Lyceum. Below I will point to two different areas to consider. The first is that the move to the Freshman Academy actually is more consistent with the philosophy of the Lyceum than the previous arrangement. Second, the move to the Freshman Academy better supports the individual needs of Lyceum students, who because of their academic giftedness and creativity, often need more social-emotional support than the previous arrangement provided. That support is physically located in the Freshman Academy.

  • Secondary School
    Secondary school A secondary school is an organization that provides secondary education and the building where this takes place. Some secondary schools provide both lower secondary education and upper secondary education (levels 2 and 3 of the ISCED scale), but these can also be provided in separate schools, as in the American middle and high school system. Secondary schools typically follow on from primary schools and prepare for vocational or tertiary education. Attendance is usually compulsory for students until the age of 16. The organisations, buildings, and terminology are more or less unique in each Tóth Árpád Gimnázium, a secondary school in Debrecen, country.[1][2] Hungary Contents Levels of education Terminology: descriptions of cohorts Theoretical framework Building design specifications Secondary schools by country See also References External links Levels of education In the ISCED 2011 education scale levels 2 and 3 correspond to secondary education which are as follows: Lower secondary education- First stage of secondary education building on primary education, typically with a more subject-oriented curriculum. Students are generally around 12-15 years old Upper secondary education- Second stage of secondary education and final stage of formal education for students typically aged 16–18, preparing for tertiary/adult education or providing skills relevant to employment. Usually with an increased range of subject options and streams. Terminology: descriptions of cohorts Within the English speaking world, there are three widely used systems to describe the age of the child. The first is the 'equivalent ages', then countries that base their education systems on the 'English model' use one of two methods to identify the year group, while countries that base their systems on the 'American K-12 model' refer to their year groups as 'grades'.

  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

  • Higher Education in Greece Compared to Canada
    College Quarterly - Articles - Higher Education in Greece compared to Canada College Quarterly Winter 2014 - Volume 17 Number 1 Home Higher Education in Greece compared to Canada By Helen Miliotis Contents Abstract This paper compares and contrasts higher education in Canada and Greece. An overview of the systems in place is followed by an analysis centred on the triad of funding, access and quality. Similarities and differences are highlighted, and the current challenges and issues faced by both nations will be examined, especially in terms of world competitiveness and the pressures of globalization. I conclude that Canada currently has postsecondary systems in place that make it more competitive in world markets than Greece has at the moment. Introduction Higher education in different nations around the world share some common characteristics, but also have differences unique to each setting. In this paper, Canadian higher education is compared to Greek higher education. There are a number of reasons why I chose this pairing to compare. First, from Aristotle’s Lyceum and the origins of higher education as well as democracy, Western civilization has often attributed much to the influence of ancient Greek ideals. As higher education was a notion that existed in Greece thousands of years ago, it would be interesting to see how it has evolved into its current state. Secondly, and on a much more personal level, I am of Greek descent. I was born in Canada but moved to Greece as a child for a number of years, growing up among the ruins of ancient Athens. While there was always this awe-inspiring wonder of ancient times, the reality that I heard every day from relatives (especially those who were currently in university) was the difficulties they were encountering in obtaining a higher education.

  • May Plato's Academy Be Considered As the First Academic Institution?

ISSN (Online) 2620-066X ▪ https://doi.org/10.32591/coas.ojsh.0202.02035s _________________________________________________________________________ May Plato’s Academy be Considered as the First Academic Institution? Zhulduz Amangelidyevna Seitkasimova M. Auezov South Kazakhstan State University, KAZAKHSTAN Faculty of Pedagogy and Culture, Shymkent Received 8 November 2019 ▪ Revised 17 December 2019 ▪ Accepted 23 December 2019 Abstract Plato’s Academy is undoubtedly the first higher education institution in history, and in ancient Athens itself represents the most important educational institution. It constituted in the context of the universal development that took place in ancient Athens, in the 5th and 4th century BC, and it continued to work until the Byzantine Emperor Justinian forbade the work of all schools of philosophy (529 AD). This development, which is part of the so-called Golden Age of ancient Athens, represents the period of Greek history in which the foundations of Western civilization originated, as we know it today. Plato appears as one of the greatest philosophers of ancient Greece, along with Socrates and Aristotle, to the first of whom appears as a student and to the second as a teacher. Philosophy in the true sense of the word was created in Plato’s era in ancient Athens (Russell, 1975), and Plato’s Academy, in which he, along with his students, talked about various philosophical topics through the Garden of Akademos, was the impetus for this development. There are also opinions that the development of philosophy after Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle is only of reproductive character when it comes to the basics of philosophy.

Humanist Academies and the “Platonic Academy of Florence” James Hankins (Harvard University) It is now widely recognized that the student of early humanist academies has to use great care when dealing with the numerous but often ambiguous references to academies and academic life in fifteenth century sources. The second half of the Quattrocento was the formative period for the idea of learned, literary and artistic academies, and it is all too easy to impose on fifteenth-century sources anachronistic assumptions drawn from the sixteenth and later centuries about the purpose, organization, and general character of these early associations of humanists.
