Next, primary education begins for a child when they turn five years old. School is year round and as soon as the child turns five they begin into the school system. New Zealand is unique in this aspect of no starting dates. When a child turns five they are able to go to school whenever the term or the family finds suitable to begin. All students must be enrolled for school by six years of age, so the first year allows so wiggle room fro families and their child. There are four terms to the school year that a child may enroll of begin classes:
1. Term one: Late January to early April-Two week break
2. Tern two: Mid April to early July-Two week break
3. Term three: Mid July to late September- Two week break
4. Term four: Mid October to Mid December: Six week holiday break
Classes generally start around nine in the morning and end it the late afternoon (3:00-3:00pm), which is about the normal day at school for a United States child. The national curriculum for New Zealand is shooting to achieve: “confident, connected, actively involved, lifelong learners” (https://www.newzealandnow.govt.nz). With core concepts such as: English, art, heath and physical education, languages, math, science, social science, and technology. The National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) is what holds students to the highest standards of education. These are the standards the students are tested on during their time in primary education and they can score a one, two, or three on their certificate. Schools send report cards twice and year and teachers are always welcomed to go and speak to the teacher.

Further education in New Zealand includes higher education and vocational education. Technical and vocational education in New Zealand are ran within schools and outside providers in the years of 11-13 primary school, or for the ages about 15-18 years old, students can begin to learn and earn certificates or NCEA level 2 qualifications. These are trade type classes such as construction, agriculture, mechanics, etc. I think this is a great way to help students get more education on a well paying trade job and earning higher education. Not every student wants to go on to college and if they don’t know any other trade classes they could be stuck. This helps provide tools and certifications for students who may not want to go to college or will need a good job to help pay for college.
Discipline, the way to obey rules and codes of behavioral attitudes, using punishment to correct disobedience, an essential ingredient for “good” can be found within our childhood schools. At the start of Wes Moore’s school years, Wes Moore had problems with motivation to go to school and he would skip school with some of his classmates who skipped the same day. This lead to a lack
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum in England differs greatly in structure and content to the Te Whariki curriculum in New Zealand; this therefore makes for an interesting comparison. The EYFS was introduced in England, in 2008, by the DfE as a framework that ‘sets the standards for learning, development and care of children from birth to five’ (DfE, 2012). Alternatively, Te Whariki was founded in New Zealand, in 1996, based on the aspirations for children ‘to grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body, and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society’ (Ministry of Education, 1996). Throughout this essay, the EYFS and Te Whariki curriculums will be compared and contrasted to give a greater understanding of the similarities and differences between England and New Zealand regarding their beliefs about young children’s needs.
Consisting of using physical discipline as a method of protection and discipline. Many parents with children of color often go to great lengths to make sure that their child is well disciplined. Discipline, is the practice of training one to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience. The method of discipline many in colored societies opt for is physical discipline. However, there are some who argue against it and opt for non-physical discipline.
The development of a national curriculum for Australia is not a new endeavour (Marsh, 2010). The ideal is that national curriculum across Australia would mean that students are provided with a quality education that helps to shape the lives of the nations citizens and continue developing the productivity and quality of life within Australia. The Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA] have the task of developing and implementing a nationwide curriculum. ACARA (n.d.-c) claims have addressed needs of young Australians while considering that changing ways in learning and challenges will continue to shape students education in the future. A look at what the Australian Curriculum is, its purpose, structure and scope, learning theories and teaching processes and whether the curriculum has the capacity to meet the needs of 21st century learners will show that the initial construction of a national curriculum appears to be successful. However, the effectiveness of the Australian Curriculum will only be able to be evaluated in the future after implementation across the country.
Tahiti has a literacy rate of 98%. Smaller islands of Polynesia, the dropout rate is extremely high, with about 20% or less even finishing elementary school. The reason being for the high dropout rate was the fact that children were expected to maintain the household and help their mothers. The children were encompassed with a large amount of household duty which interfered with their ability to maintain school and home life. Higher education is seen more in females than in males. 31.5% of the female population from 2010-2014 had earned a bachelor’s degree or higher. Unlike women, men were sitting at a percentage of 29.4 of those 25 and older who had earned higher education. There are primary secondary, vocational and tertiary schools. Children can begin primary school as young as age 5, and remain for six years. Secondary school takes another 7 years to complete, they usually finish school by the age of 17. From ages 6 to 16, schooling is mandatory; after the age of 16, children can decide if they want to continue with school or proceed with a different route for their life. Vocational education continues after secondary education and can involve agriculture or vocational training institutions, also includes private colleges as well. Tertiary education Majority of teaching is done in French, although Tahitian was taught 2-3 hours a week in primary and secondary
The word discipline is defined as imparting knowledge and skill, to teach. Discipline is used by parents to teach their children the correct way to behave. They need to be given constant discipline to be taught right and wrong and it can involve rewards and punishments to teach self control and increase desirable behaviors and decrease undesirable behaviour. Though the purpose of child discipline is to develop desirable behaviour and social habits, the ultimate goal is to create sound judgement and morals so that the child develops and maintains self disciple throughout the rest of their lives.

Te Whᾱriki is the New Zealand’s early childhood curriculum, which was developed in 1996. Compared with Reggio Emilia Approach, they have similarities as focus on children’s interests; develop children’s learning though interacting in relationship with others, emphasise the importance of environment and adults’ active responding. They also differ in many ways, such as teacher’s role, culture background and documentation and Assessment.
Many children begin school at the ages of 5 or 6, the age when a child enters kindergarten. However, children?s learning capabilities are at there peak at earlier ages than that. Alison Gopnik, a professor of psychology at the University of California at Berkeley says, ?Children learn more in their early years than they ever will again. With the dissolution of the extended family, the best way to support early learning is with publicly funded pre-K? (Starr, 2002). Their brains are more primed to learn and will absorb more information earlier in life. Therefore the earlier children begin their education, the better. It is through these programs that the children learn proper etiquettes when dealing with teachers and fellow students. ?Children who attend well-planned, high quality programs?tend to learn more and are better prepared to successfully master the complex demands of formal schooling,? says one government commissioned review of research on early childhood education (Ruben, 2000/2001).
Today is our first day of being the leaders, doers, and problem solvers of the future. Those who persevere, who give it their all and approach each day with optimism will ultimately meet success and happiness. Of course, there will be many a failure on that windy road of life, but with dedication, we can do anything and make any dream come true. But, as we grow older and encounter success, we must not forget those who have had it rough, whose lives may have hit some potholes on the way, and we must take care of those who need a helping hand. As each of us leaves our mark on the world, be generous and be happy, and always remember the good times, good friends, and lessons learned at Marefat.

The students in Canada are responsible for their own work, and they are not shamed upon like in India or punished in front of their classmates for not being successful. The approach in Canada is very formal as the student can get support for areas that they are struggling with. The approach is very open as students have many options on how to achieve success by studying hard and getting extra help. Also, any students that misbehave in some cases may get detention. In Detention, the student will learn why he or she did something bad and was wrong to do so, as the teacher usually makes them write and reflect on what they have just done. This approach to discipline motivates and gives students an open approach to achieve
Social studies education is a core subject in the New Zealand curriculum because it teaches
To begin something new, you must sacrifice something old. To enter the real world, you must graduate your childhood.
Discipline plays a key part in education. Respect from your students will make the classroom a better atmosphere. Rules should be established on the first day. Rules should be a thoughtful process so they can be carried out to be affective, but logical consequences. We do not want the students self esteem to be damaged.
