In this paper, the author examined the perception of primary school teachers about supervision exercise in Nigerian primary schools. The sample comprised 1258 (581 men, 677 women) classroom teachers who were randomly selected from 81 primary schools in Akinyele, Ona-Ara, and Ibadan South East Local Government Education Authorities, Oyo State, Nigeria. A questionnaire titled "Supervision and Quality of Instruction in Primary Schools" was administered on the sample. Frequency counts, percentages, and independent sample t - test were used to analyse the data. Results showed that fairly large sizes of the respondents were favourably disposed to supervision exercise in primary schools. Male teachers were more favourably disposed to supervision exercise than female teachers. However, generally the respondents were of the opinion that effective supervision is necessary in order to enhance the quality of instruction and to maintain standard in primary schools. The findings suggest the need for the government at all levels to strengthen supervision exercise in primary schools.

One of the most common types of aggressive behavior among school-aged children is bullying which is no longer just a matter of the army, prison, or the lives of people in borderline life situations. It is not infrequently encountered by pupils and teachers in our schools as well. Nowadays, this phenomenon is moving from the age of adolescence and puberty to increasingly younger age groups - even to the younger school age or pre-school age. This paper deals with the issue of bullying among pupils of younger school age. The aim of the presented contribution is to present the experiences of primary school teachers with bullying among pupils and to map what forms of prevention they use in their practice.

The introduction of sex education into primary schools in New Zealand was a controversial and contested issue throughout the 1960s and 1970s. This article explores key documents and legislation produced during the period. It is argued that the controversy surrounding sex education for primary students resulted in the implementation in the 1980s of a largely fact-based curriculum, focusing on the biological process of pubertal change rather than social and emotional issues surrounding sexuality. The implementation of the 1999 curriculum document Health and Physical Education in the New Zealand Curriculum is also briefly discussed.

Abstract
The study was meant to explore the readiness of primary schools toward school health emergencies in Delta State, Nigeria. The method was the use of exploratory / descriptive study design of the expost facto method. Three variables of personnel, equipment and environment were used, while three research questions and three hypotheses were used as a guide. Simple questionnaire of Yes or No was used to generate data. Descriptive statistics of frequency count, percentages and paired t-test statistics were used to analysed the data. It was found that personnel for school health emergency were not available in schools and were found to be negatively significant at −30.97 (p = 0.05) and had negative correlation of −1.00. Equipment was found to be available (at least, at the level of First Aid Box) and found significant at paired t - test value of 19.01 (p = 0.05) while environment for school health emergency was not available and negatively significant at paired t – test value of -111.891 (P = 0.05). The study concluded that readiness of primary schools in Delta state for health emergencies is still at its infancy.

Thesis (Master)--Izmir Institute of Technology, City and Regional Planning, Izmir. 1999 ; Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 105-108) ; Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and English ; xiii, 108 leaves ; In Turkey, " The Compulsory Eight-year Basic Education Act ", which passed on 16 August 1997 in the Parliament, has combined primary school education with secondary school education. Thus, the period assigned for the primary school education has gone up to eight years; the students, consequently, between the ages 6-14 have been included in this system since the implementation of the Act.This study aims at the followings: solving space problems caused by the Act; determining space allocation standards and location criteria; and also determining the differences between public and private schools in terms of space allocation standards andlocation criteria.As the study area, the districts of Balyova, Narhdere and Guzelbahye located in the West side of izmir have been determined, and a questionnaire has been conducted at all primary schools in the study area. The objective of the questionnaire is to find out the planning problems of the primary schools which have been reshaped after the Act.In this thesis, it is put forth that the existing primary schools and the ones which will be constructed in the future are in need of rearrangements by means of space allocations; and any proposed space allocations standards and location criteria, from this moment on ought to be taken into consideration.

Honduras has recorded impressive gains in expanding educational access in the 1990s, with the result that primary education is available to almost all children. With improved access, the focus has shifted to quality and efficiency issues. Previous research suggests that academic achievement is still quite low, while repetition and school desertion rates continue to remain high. An important cause of these outcomes appears to lie in patterns of school attendance. Low levels of school attendance may be responsible for low academic achievement, which, in turn, is linked to high repetition and desertion rates. Recognizing this probable chain of events, this paper focuses on the school attendance decision. (DSE/DÜI)

The qualities that an ideal primary school teacher has to have according to the view of 109 teacher trainees were investigated. Data were collected from an open-ended question in which the participants' views about the ideal primary school teacher and the reasoning behind those views
were explored. Content analysis, frequency analysis, and percentage techniques of the collected data resulted in 6 themes: ethical and humanistic values; teaching skills; cultural and scientific knowledge; personal qualities; interaction with society, environment, and parents; and self-values.
