Single-sex schools in decline

People that support single sex schools assert that classrooms that set apart from the rest or from each other take away interruptions and permits boys and girls, who grow at moderately various ages, to study in particular gender ways. The separation strategy is considered a path to obtain quality education and help women to acquire equality in status, rights, and opportunities. Competition, application and various measure of growth are significant problems that must be resolved in every school.

Exclusive schools for girls are becoming more numerous than schools for boys. Most of these single sex schools may be children of those who successfully complete an academic degree or course of training or directly searching for high education they are seeking. However, more parents choose coed schools as a way to merge young children and allowing them learn from each other. Studying inside the classroom together with opposite sex helps them to return to a normal condition when it comes to influencing their opposite sexes.

The challenge to all educational institutions is to discover ways to develop education regardless of who‘s studying in the classroom. The surroundings in which students study greatly influence their personal achievements and strong belief that something will happen in the future. Whatever system a school implements, it is important to build significant set of circumstances that makes it possible maintain their interaction, coordination and common respect.

Science in a suitcase: Testing for illicit drugs in Southeast Asia

The production and activity of methamphetamines and heroin, combined with the illegal dealing of antecedent chemicals needed to create illegal drugs, present a crucial danger to the countries building the Greater Mekong Sub-region. While law enforcement authorities transacting with these problems have normally lacked the right resources in order to rapidly and efficiently recognizes grasp substances, this has begun to become different by the help of UNODC’s Global SMART Programme.

The program Synthetic Monitoring: Analyses, Reporting and Trends – UNODC partners with police and customs organizations in the district to get them ready on the field drug-testing equipment so as to immediately recognize illegal drugs. The equipment permits law enforcement authorities to run particular site evaluation for illegal substances which includes narcotics like opium and heroin and psychotropic substances like amphetamines. UNODC also supplies antecedent examination equipment that helps distinguish the chemicals in the drug production.

UNODC introduced the Global SMART Program few years ago to increase the power of the members and authorities of the state in in East and Southeast Asia to produce, organize, examine and report synthetic substance and antecedent information, and to seek this evidence-based knowledge to the rules and program design and execution. Eleven countries in the region are already given assistance from UNODC through the Global SMART Programme which includes Brunei, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
