Answer 1

hii. broooooooooooooo!!

Answer 2

There appear to be three major trends in modern secondary education all over the world:

1. Unprecedented expansion of secondary education in each countr

2. A trend towards comprehensive co-ordination between primary and secondary education, and

3. Integration of cultural and vocational elements in the curriculum.

Onwards we shall understand the nature of these basic trends:-

1. Unprecedented expansion of secondary education:

It is true that population explosion is a cause of expansion of secondary education, but this phenomenon alone should not be attributed to this explosion. Another cause of this expansion has been the wide expansion of primary education after the Second World War.

A chain of primary schools spreading all over in each country has necessitated the expansion of secondary education. Hence almost in all the countries enrollment of students in secondary schools has increased beyond control and parents are hard hit to get their wards admitted to secondary schools of their choice.

2. Towards Comprehensive Co-ordination between Primary and Secondary Education:

This trend is a result of huge expansion of secondary education. Upto the nineteenth century it was generally thought that primary education was complete in itself as it was meant for those children under tender age who had compulsionarily to take up some job after completing it.
