...General Certificate of Secondary Education 1 General Certificate of Secondary Education The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is an academic qualification awarded in a specified subject, generally taken in a number of subjects by students aged 14–16 in secondary education in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and is equivalent to a Level 2 (A*- C) and Level 1 (D- G) in Key Skills. (In Scotland, the equivalent is the Standard Grade.) Some students may decide to take one or more GCSEs before or afterwards; people may apply for GCSEs at any point either internally through an institution or externally. The education systems of other British territories, such as Gibraltar,[1] and the former British dominion of South Africa, also use the qualifications, as supplied by the same examination boards. The International version of the GCSE is the IGCSE, which can be taken anywhere in the world, and which includes additional options, for example relating to coursework and the language used. When GCSEs are taken by students in secondary education, they can often be combined with other qualifications, such as the Business And Technology Education Council (BTEC), the Diploma in Digital Applications (DiDA), or diplomas. Education to GCSE level is often required of students who study for the International Baccalaureate or to GCE Advanced Level (A-level). GCSE exams were introduced as the compulsory school-leavers' examinations in the late 1980s (the first exams being taken...

...Department Educational System Of SINGAPORE (Group Project) Secondary education in Singapore Most secondary schools in Singapore offer 4-year or 5-year courses leading up to the GCE O-level examination. A notable exception are the Integrated Programme (IP) schools, which offer a 6-year course leading up to the GCE A-level examination or the International Baccalaureate examination. Autonomous schools have more autonomy as compared to other government-run secondary schools to plan their own curriculum and activities. However, such schools may charge a SGD$3 to SGD$18 miscellaneous fee on top of the regular school fees paid by all students attending government-run secondary schools. Independent schools are granted autonomy to design their own school curriculum as well as other school programmes. They are also allowed to choose their own students and set their own school fees. Their school fees are therefore usually higher than that of government-run schools, though such schools and the Ministry of Education offer some scholarships to offset the school fees. Program for Secondary Education Based on results of the PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examination), students are placed in different secondary education tracks or streams: "Special", "Express", "Normal (Academic)", or "Normal (Technical)". Singaporeans are forbidden to attend international schools on the island without Ministry of Education permission. "Special" and "Express" They are the four-year courses leading...

In the end, when you reach where you were aspiring to be, all those hardships that you went through become the rising action of your epic story that you later share with others being the protagonist. Institute of business administration of Dhaka University is the leading business school of Bangladesh par excellence. My desire of being part of this peerless institution started with my eldest sister’s dream of getting into IBA. I was an eighth-grader back then. She used to go into raptures talking about IBA and of how splendid the campus, the faculty and the education there are which also sparked something in me. She worked her fingers to the bone but alas, she wasn’t shortlisted. This setback had distressed my sister as well as our family severely because we were all holding onto the hope of her selection. It took all of us a while to recover from the despair. The dream had been then passed on to sibling to sibling but unfortunately it resulted in our parents’ disappointment only. However, as the superstitious phrase goes “Third time's the charm", it was the same for us three sisters. I was the last in our family to try for IBA and the first to get through to IBA. So I have my family to thank for the inspiration and motivation. By the grace of God,...

...Speech and Language Therapist A speech and language therapist is someone who assesses and treats speech, language and communication problems in people of all ages which would help them in the future to help them to communicate better. A speech and language therapist is also known as a SLT. Some of the problems a SLT may face while at work is if the child or adult has difficulty producing speech (this is the phonetics, an example of this would the production of a vowel- the mouth is opened and there is air forced from the lungs through the larynx leading the vocal folds vibrate. If the sounds have a higher frequency they would have a higher pitch. Another thing a SLT does is helps to understand and help to use the language being produced, any people who have difficulty feeding, chewing or swallowing, if the patient has a stammer or a voice problem. The people who get referred to a SLT could have problems from a stroke, if they have a learning disability such as autism; it could also be a neurological disorder such as Parkinson’s, cancer of the mouth and throat, a head injury or even a clef plate. Some of the places that a SLT could work is in a hospital setting (they would normally have their own ward), in a community health centre, within a mainstream school which would have children with speech difficulties, a special school, within a home and in an assessment unit and day centres. Some skills which are useful for a speech and language therapist is that they have good...

...It was when I earned my first pound at the age of ten washing my mother's car that I became interested in the power of money. Over time it became clear to me that the people who understand the monetary and banking system are capable of understanding the decisions made by governments and the future of society. I want to be one of those people. To broaden my knowledge of different areas of finance, I have read a number of different books on the subject - from "How the City of London Works" to "Rich Dad Poor Dad". I am also a regular reader of the Economist magazine. I believe that reading such books and magazines has given me insight into topics not covered at school, for example how Japanese management in Chinese factories caused unrest among the workforce due to the Chinese workers' dislike of the Japanese management style, and how this affected the share price of companies such as Honda. Reading about such things has made me realise how the subject of Finance and the economy affects everybody's lives, and has strengthened my desire to further study the subject. The A-level subjects I am studying give me a firm foundation for studying Finance at University. Business Studies at A-level has greatly improved my analytical and writing skills. I have particularly enjoyed the part of the course which concerns how a firm selects financial strategies and how managers choose which aspect of a firm needs the most investment. German has improved my communication skills and self-confidence...
